EDiTE at ICIM2019

The International Conference on Interculturalism and Multiculturalism took place between 28-30 March in Porto, organised by the Polytechnic of Porto (Centre for Intercultural Studies, ISCAP – P. Porto). One of the main themes of the conference was to rethink and move forward the debates in conceptualising interculturalism and multiculturalism, to which EDiTE researcher Nikolett Szelei contributed with perspectives from school research. Her presentation ´What is ´interculturality´ and ´multiculturalism´ in schools? A critical view on school practitioners´ conceptualisations´problematised that in everyday life these terminologies are often used as tools for Othering rather than justice-oriented understandings.
