Сreating an Intercultural Educational Space at the Pedagogical Higher Educational Institution

Summary/Abstract: Competent performance of professional duties in an intercultural environment is of particular importance for a multinational Europe. An interculturally competent teacher has fundamentally new qualities, namely, a tolerant attitude to diversity. Effective teachers are expected to cultivate students’ intercultural competence enabling them to engage in everyday intercultural interactions. The presented vision is a comprehensive approach to the formation of intercultural competence based on the teachers’ professional training in any pedagogical higher educational institution. The proposed research describes an example of creating an intercultural educational space at Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University in Ukraine and using its potential opportunities for the formation of intercultural competence of future teachers. The study confirmed the hypothesis that the creation of the intercultural educational space at the higher education institution has a positive effect on the process of intercultural competence formation.
