Educare alla diversità. Le istituzioni italiane e la sfida dell’interculturalità

Abstract

This essay aims to develop a reflection on the education to interculturality in our country, to be understood as a matured awareness, and strategies implemented by institutions on the theme of cultural diversity, in a "positive" perspective of recognition and appreciation of differences, supportive and pacifist. The proposed overview focuses on three strategic sectors to understand the role and the evolution of intercultural communication in the public sphere: the university, which has the mandate to train the professional figures of the future; the organizations, public, private and non-profit, obliged, in order to survive, to intercept and deal promptly with the evolution of the company; the media, protagonists of cultural and political life and producers of the narratives that nourish the popular imagination. Specifically, the reflection is based on the results of three research actions carried out by the authors in the context of the activities of a European project (Codes - Communication, Diversité, Solidarité) and this paper is the first public presentation of the same at national level.
