Being a good neighbour: developing intercultural understanding through critical dialogue between an Australian and Finnish cross-case study
2020
Language educators in Australia and Finland are expected to foster intercultural understanding within foreign language education. This paper presents findings from a qualitative case study focusing on theoretical and practical intercultural understanding in secondary school language education. The data for this study includes lesson observations as well as student and teachers interviews collected in two secondary schools in Australia and Finland. The findings demonstrate the complex resources teachers and students draw on to develop and share intercultural understanding. The discussion addresses the value of different perspectives and the need for a new metaphor to conceptualise intercultu…

Corresponsabilità educativa nell’esperienza dei Centri Provinciali per l’Istruzione degli Adulti: i vissuti dei docenti.
2021
Il presente contributo intende presentare una ricerca esplorativa sulle linee di intervento elaborate dai docenti dei Centri Provinciali per l’Istruzione degli Adulti (CPIA), in relazione all’attenzione che essi pongono alla costruzione di azioni coordinate e collaborative con le diverse figure di riferimento, tra cui quella dei tutori legali volontari, per favorire una corresponsabilità educativa che possa aiutare a rispondere in modo adeguato ai bisogni educativi dei minori migranti soli. L’idea di fondo della ricerca è di portare alla luce il ruolo delle scuole, intese come comunità educanti, nei percorsi delicati di affiancamento dei minori migranti non accompagnati in stretta collabora…
The inclusion of non-western artistic traditions in cultural policy:Contrasting social justice and public diplomacy approaches
2017
On both sides of the Atlantic, the dissemination of non-Western artistic traditions among the general public has been hampered by the prevalence of Eurocentric aesthetic standards in cultural institutions and organizations. In recent years, however, some states have taken steps in order to increase the exposure of immigrant-origin artists in a variety of disciplines, including theatre, music, dance, literature, cinema and visual arts. This article offers a systematic comparison of two such initiatives that have been developed at the national level: the Equity Office of the Canada Council for the Arts and Spain’s network of cultural ‘Houses’ (Red de Casas). While the former was assigned a so…
Reconceptualizing cultural literacy as a dialogic practice
2019
Culture and heritage are plural and fluid, continually co-created through interaction between people. However, traditional monologic models of cultural literacy reflect a one-way transmission of static cultural knowledge. Using the context of a large European project and augmenting the work of Buber with models of literacy as social practice, in this article cultural literacy is reconceptualized as fundamentally dialogic. We argue that cultural literacy empowers intercultural dialogue, opening a dialogic space with inherent democratic potential. Considering implications for the classroom, we outline how a dialogic pedagogy can provide a suitable context for the development of young people's…
Didáctica (lengua y literatura)
2017
El aumento del racismo y la xenofobia en las sociedades europeas y el hecho de que los marroquíes, en particular, constituyan el colectivo inmigrante más rechazado por los españoles motiva la propuesta de club de lectura a partir de dos obras de LIJ (literatura infantil y juvenil) de autoras transculturales, en el marco de la educación literaria e intercultural, que presentamos en este artículo y que proponemos evaluar a través de un cuestionario pretest-postest, empleando un diseño de investigación cuasi-experimental. Con esta perseguimos que el alumnado de Secundaria al que se dirige tenga ocasión de: (1) incrementar sus conocimientos sobre la cultura árabe, (2) reflexionar sobre el desar…
Intercultural Dialogue in the European Education Policies : A Conceptual Approach
2020
This open access book analyses intercultural dialogue as a concept, policy and ideal in European education policy documentation. The core European transnational organizatons – the Council of Europe and the European Union – have actively promoted policies to engender inclusive societies and respond to challenges that diversification may entail. This book, in turn, offers suggestions for improving education policies in super-diversified Europe and beyond, where there is an increasing need for cultural understanding and constructive dialogue. The authors utilize concept analysis to reveal how these organizations seek to deal with dialogue between cultures, as well as weight given to cultural d…
Polak Europejczyk z obawami
2017
„Polak Europejczyk z obawami” to tytuł artykułu na temat stopnia zakorzenienia poczucia tożsamości europejskiej w społeczeństwie polskim i szerzej w społeczeństwach Europy środkowo-wschodniej. Poczucie tożsamości europejskiej, opierające się na fundamencie dziedzictwa cywilizacyjnego, musi stanowić spoiwo, które pomoże połączyć państwa i narody w harmonijną całość. To zadanie dla ponad pięćsetmilionowej społeczności europejskiej, to zadanie dla każdego z nas – Europejczyka. Na ile Polacy czują się Europejczykami, utożsamiają ze wspólną polityką europejską, to pytania warte naukowej dyskusji. Gdzie tkwią przyczyny rodzących się napięć, odżywania nacjonalizmów i kompleksów wynikających z nieu…
Developing EU Heritage Diplomacy : Notions of Cultural Diplomacy, Cultural Heritage, and Intercultural Dialogue among EU Officials and European Herit…
2021
The European Commission has recently identified cultural heritage as a focus area for EU cultural diplomacy. The article explores EU cultural diplomacy that deals with cultural heritage and develops the concept of heritage diplomacy based on a critical discourse analysis of interviews with EU officials and heritage practitioners working at sites awarded with the European Heritage Label. What do these actors mean by cultural diplomacy and how do they understand the role and potential of cultural heritage for it and with what effects? The analysis indicates that heritage diplomacy means different things for EU officials and heritage practitioners. Their discourses on the uses of cultural heri…
