Thinking of education from plural: the ‘animal educandum, ex diversitate’ in the education act

Abstract

The interest on intercultural education is on the rise, thus questions arise regarding the theory and practice of this educational approach, in order not to limit it to a mere discourse, but to think about it as a reality. This type of education, cannot be conceived, as an isolated practice, but rather should be understood within a context, similar to an organism. That’s why it should be considered as an asset of inclusive education, where it can be understood as a whole in spite of its parts; this is value every human being in spite of their abilities or disabilities, color or dialect, or the fact that they feature a educative special needs. For inclusive education to be a reality is everyone’s task because the first form of cultural transmission comes from family, because of that family and society must guarantee that inclusiveness becomes a fact.
