Intercultural Education: Promoting Sustainability in Education and Training
2008
Education for sustainable development (ESD) is a dynamic concept that encompasses a new vision of education seeking to empower people of all ages to assume responsibility for creating and enjoying a sustainable future. Today the notion of sustainable development includes ecological, economic, social and cultural sustainability. Cultural diversity and intercultural education contribute to the social and cultural aspects of sustainability. Responding to the challenge of ESD entails that the education policy is based on the participation of the whole population: all individuals should be aware of their own responsibility for creating a sustainable future in terms of ecology, economy, social re…
Kenen historiaa monikulttuurisessa koulussa?
2006
Most changes that ethnic and cultural diversity brings to teachers' work are perhaps shared by any teachers irrespective of school form or subject specialisation, but some of them are more directly subject-specific. History as a school subject is not only an academic reconstruction of the past but also a reflection of the nation's collective memory which is a more subjective and affective relation to the past.

Colonie, Imperi e Migrazioni. Un inquadramento postcoloniale dell'Europa multiculturale
2012
The article considers the multicultural roots of the European Union from a postcolonial perspective. Therefore, European history is outlined from colonialism to imperialism, concluding with recent regulations on international migration. The etymology of the terms colony and culture, both derived from the Latin verb colĕre (to cultivate), is the link that connects these themes, highlighting a conception of the relationship between Europeans and the otherness based on exploitation and domination. Through this view, differential colonialism merges with social self representation (antropopoiesi) inherent in the concepts of culture and education and already disclosed by the Greek paideia.
