ABSTRACT
My purpose here, is to
develop an analytical framework to highlight and support the undeniable
potential of human rights education in the double context of globalization on
the one hand, and very notion of multiculturalism and assessment of its usefulness
to grasp the challenging realities of present times and provide viable
descriptions, interpretations, and explications of contemporary processes, on
the other. This paper concentrates
on the issue of rethinking the concept of multiculturalism, integration,
tolerance and human rights in the context of the wider ongoing debate about the
place of multiculturalism in contemporary Europe. In interpreting contemporary
debates about multiculturalism in Europe, it is critical to distinguish between
political discourse and government policies. At the level of discourse, there
is a widespread perception that multiculturalism has failed and that
governments that once embraced a multicultural approach to diversity are
turning away adopting a strong emphasis on civic integration. Nevertheless,
those civic integration initiatives are often being layered on top of existing
multicultural programs, leading to a blended approach to diversity. With the
above in mind, I will argue that an understanding of different cultures and how
to communicate across them has been a great asset, and challenge to human
rights and citizenship education activities taking place across Europe.
