Intercultural Competences Across The School Curriculum
The aims of the
Comenius in Intercultural Competences Across The School Curriculum (Circum)
include the following:
- Help young people to develop the ability to recognize inequality, injustice, racism, prejudice and bias.
- Equip young people to challenge and to try to change these manifestations when they encounter them.
- Enable young people to appreciate the richness of a diversity of cultures.
- Support young people in practical ways to recognize and to challenge prejudice and discrimination where they exist.
Someone with some degree of intercultural competence is someone who
- is able to see relationships between different cultures - both internal and external to a society
- is able to mediate, that is interpret each in terms of the other, either for themselves or for other people
- has a critical or analytical understanding of their own and other cultures
- is conscious of their own perspective, of the way in which their thinking is culturally
- is determined, rather than believing that their understanding and perspective is natural
