Guide om ‘interkulturel uddannelse’ i folkeskoler i IrlandTitle: ‘Intercultural Education in the Primary School – Enabling children to respect and celebrate diversity, to promote equality and to challenge unfair discrimination’ The aim of these guidelines is to contribute to the development of Ireland as an intercultural society based on a shared sense that language, culture and ethnic diversity is valuable. These guidelines are designed to provide support for all the members of the school community, including teachers, school managers, support staff and parents – all those with a responsibility for and interest in primary education. It is of particular relevance to teachers, school managers, school support staff and policy makers. The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment wishes to acknowledge the work of Dr. Roland Tormey and the Centre for Educational Disadvantage Research, Mary Immaculate College, Limerick in the development of these Guidelines.

These changes have brought the issue of ethnic and cultural diversity to the forefront of national policy and have encouraged discussion in relation to such diversity. However, it would not be accurate to suggest that Ireland has only recently experienced diversity. Significant minority ethnic, linguistic and religious groups have long been part of Irish society. Ireland has a long history of cultural diversity that has contributed to making it the country it is today. In a wider sense, membership of a European and global community has also played a significant role in the experience of being Irish.” “Understanding, recognising, and dealing with perspectives and bias are key ideas in intercultural education. They will help children to recognise and overcome stereotyping, and are important skills in engaging in conflict resolution tasks such as negotiating solutions and developing win-win situations.” Definitions Intercultural competence: The ability to put the values of intercultural education into practice in our Intercultural education: Education that respects, celebrates, and recognises the normality of diversity in all aspects of human life, promotes equality and human rights, challenges unfair discrimination, and provides the values upon which equality is built. Institutional racism: The application of general rules and/or practices that do not make allowances for cultural differences, including indirect discrimination, a lack of proactive measures to prevent discrimination, a lack of professional expertise or training in dealing with diversity, and a lack of workable facilities for consulting and listening to minority groups. |
