| Summary: | In the last years, the intensified migration mostly of people from Africa and Asia
altered the situation in Europe. The growing awareness of the importance of respect
for human rights and the recognition of the equal value of all people of whatever ethnic
origin, cultural or religious tradition, forced the European governments to adjust the
institutional services to a
new kind of cultural and religious diversity, but Europeans
do not want to give up the economic, political, social, ethnic, cultural and religious
harmony. Due to the impact of migration, many national curricula are being changed and
transformed. But it is also necessary to examine how cultural and religious diversity in
Europe is intertwined in school pedagogy. What are the relationships between European
and multicultural values and/or between multicultural and Christian values? What is the
response of educational institutions to the new political, social, cultural and religious
situation in Europe especially based on huge migration influx? What are the possible
conflicts between the dynamics of a
changing culture on the one hand and the ambitions
of the Catholic schools in 21-st century? The author of this text raises a
few important
questions connected with migration and education in Europe for further reflection. |
