| Summary: | In addition to a summary of conference proceedings, this document presents background information on the promotion of intercultural education in Europe. Part I introduces Switzerland as a society combining several cultures and nationalities, noting the large presence of foreigners--14.6% of the total population as of December 1985 and 20% of the school population. Part I concludes that meeting the needs of pupils in such a diverse culture calls for confrontation and dialogue between the host countries and the countries of origin in a multinational context, like that of the Council of Europe. Part II defines culture and the role of the Council of Europe in promoting interculturalism. Part III outlines the work of the Joint Italo-Swiss Group including their sponsorship of a competition inviting teachers to submit studies and practical experiments in the field of intercultural education. Main features of the 40 papers submitted are highlighted. Part IV summarizes the proceedings of a 4-day meeting to explore educational theory and practice with regard to intercultural education attended by about 80 people. Appendices contain the conference agenda, directory of participants, and a bibliography of 10 entries concerning migrants in Swiss schools. (JHZ) |
