Culture is an attribute characterizing the man both in individual and collective aspect. Culture is created by man who is its carrier and receiver. At the same time culture is a phenomenon pertaining to more than a unit, as the man leads a social life. Thanks to the community and within the culture is transmitted through space and time. It is a way to organize collective life, but also organizes the life of an individual in the community and creates its psychological profile.
Modern developed societies are characterized by increasing cultural diversity related to, among other things, the influx of economic and political migrants. The article presents strategies and models to deal with multiculturalism at the level of policy and practice of state authorities at the level of individual reactions of individuals from minority ethno-cultural groups and in the area of educational activities. It was pointed out that multiculturalism is a difficult challenge for the host society and still need a search for optimal solutions satisfactory to all parties of this interaction.
Many years of experience of different countries has shown that intercultural education is not an easy task. It requires constant reorganization, the creation of new solutions, both systemic and individual. Failures in this case cannot be put off, they should only be a stimulus for further innovative actions.
Cultural diversity of European societies, due to political, economic or demographic reasons will deepen and this trend, at least for the time being, cannot be reversed. It is necessary to make efforts to meet the challenge of multiculturalism, and education is an area, which in this context should not be overlooked. Developing effective solutions in this area is a precondition for the friendly and conflict-free coexistence between minority and majority – if not in close, then in the longer term.
