In Polish and Czech pedagogy, there have not been many studies on the social, cultural and educational functioning of academic youth in a culturally diversified environment. The analysis of identity behaviours presented by university students from the Polish-Czech borderland and of their learning potentialities will provide a chance for mutual recognition, understanding and the enrichment of both cultures - along with providing a chance for cultural sensitization. Due to the applied culturalization attitudes, this will also enhance the participation in the culture of the neighbouring country and the shortening of cultural distance. Such studies are also associated with a reflection upon the way in which a contemporary human understands cultural dimensions, the role they play in human life and the scope in which they shape the individual's own and their social/cultural identity.

The second volume of the Interculturalism and Intercultural Education Series presents findings from the European research project IRNet. The first chapter explores the role of schools in multicultural settings and the educational efforts of teachers in diverse environments. The second chapter addresses early school intercultural education, focusing on cultural and cognitive aspects that shape identity in early pedagogy and the quality of integrated education in primary schools. The third chapter examines the functioning of school education for national minorities in Poland and neighboring countries, considering the socio-political transformations in these regions over recent decades. The final chapter discusses the experiences, challenges, and perspectives of educating culturally different children and their families, both in school and beyond. This volume offers valuable insights into the complexities of education in culturally diverse contexts, highlighting the need for effective strategies to support all learners. ISBN 9783862887538.
