intercultural education are based on respecting human rights, social justice, diversity, gender equality and environmental sustainability — and these skills empower active global citizens.

  1. The shared values between intercultural learning, global citizenship education and interfaith dialogue are many. All three promote peace, compassion and respect. They encourage us to learn more about our own identity and culture, as well as of the identity and culture of others. This knowledge helps everyone better understand the similarities and appreciate the differences and diversity of humankind.

  2. For many people, their faith or their choice not to pursue faith, is in integral part of who they are. Therefore, when you make assumptions or conclusions about other people because of their beliefs or faith practices, the reaction can be very strong, leading to conflicts. Even the most interculturally competent people can lose perspective when they feel judged on a core value like their faith.

  3. A Muslim who visits a Christian church can come away with a deeper understanding of Christianity and how the culture of the surrounding community has been shaped by this faith. Additionally, the student may develop a deeper appreciation for her own faith and how it has shaped her own life.
