Resumen:
Intercultural education is an education of interpersonal relationships, which involves members of different
cultures, whose fundamental objective is to increase the effectiveness of intercultural relations, to increase the degree
of openness, tolerance, acceptance of others. The integration of intercultural education in the school space is a complex and not at all easy process, which requires specific skills
and approaches from teachers. Pupils, from the earliest ages,
namely, primary schools, should be able to appreciate the
richness of a diverse range of cultures and be helped in practical ways to recognize and challenge stereotypes. Wherever
prejudice and discrimination exist, they must be addressed.
The following article, presents brief research on the opinions and experience of Preschool and primary school students from Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad, regarding the
values of intercultural education teaching and practice within
primary schools, in the Romanian school curriculum, in order to integrate the pupil in the society of the future. They
have shared their thoughts regarding the preparation level
that they get in the study years at the above-mentioned specialty, through data collected within several sessions of focus
groups.
