Intercultural Teacher Training for an inclusive and open-minded school: some considerations

Abstract

Abstract

Intercultural teacher training feeds nowadays on new theoretical awarenesses, which move away from "objectifying" approaches, aimed at defining otherness and difference, and which propose, instead, a "revision" of the gaze that educators use with those who are perceived as "other". Starting from the suggestions of Lévinas on the theme of the "face of the other" and in accordance with a post-colonial vision, the perspective of deconstruction is proposed as one of the possible ways for the initial and continuous training of teachers, considered in an intercultural key .
