Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is the analysis of multicultural issues as a challenge for contem-porary pedagogics. This analysis concerns the practical, philosophical and social aspects as well as educational and preventive aspects of multiculturalism. The inspiration to take up the topic was the growing problems related to it, and above all, still registered by sociologists, act of treating "other" as "foreign" by a large percentage of students. In this context, an important pedagogical task is to reject the ideological understanding of mul-ticulturalism and to encourage respecting Polish tradition and culture, and on the other hand to counteract the aggression caused by unhealthy reactions to multiculturalism.
