MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION
MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: Throughout history, the entire world has been constantly torn apart by conflicts whose origin can be attributed to the differences of the individuals. As for today, it has not changed much even in the 21st century. Multiculturalism, and the contact of members of different cultures, accompany humanity throughout its existence. The coexistence of people from different cultures, languages , and religions is recorded in the historical works of philosophers, and thinkers. If we make a journey from the global level to the European continent, we can say that thanks to the historical contexts, Europe, with its wide complex of mutual cultures and ethnic groups, is no exception. The ancient effort of humanity was to create higher civilizational units that would ensure a higher level of quality of human activity, regardless of nationality or ethnicity. This process enabled the emergence of communities and organizations such as the European Union, the Council of Europe, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The item multiculturalism and relations in Europe is therefore more of a political problem. The purpose of the paper was to describe the current situation and terminology related to the intercultural education of primary school teachers based on professional literature and sources, previous research, and internal knowledge. Among the most recent contributions and publications, it can also be found a historical perspective on the issue of intercultural education provided by the older literature.
