- 20. The declaration isthis: school... is a place where we educate and are educated; a place where values and knowledge are transmitted; and above all a place where values and knowledge are constructed... We see school not as the place of instruction or the place of formation (in the vocational/professional sense), but as the place of education. But what do we mean by this?

- 21. 'To educate' alsomeans -- and in certain respects primarily means -- to educate the intrinsic values of each individual and each culture, in order to make these values extrinsic, visible, conscious, and shareable.… The relationship between subjectivity and intersubjectivity is fundamental not only on the cognitive (and psychological) level, but above all on the political and cultural level… The recurring question is whether the school is limited to transmitting culture or can be... a place where culture is constructed and democracy is put into practice….

- 23. Today’s youth arealready doing this. Young people are the great precursors and authors of these hybridizations: in music, in fashion, in design, creating new forms and new freedoms. Young people are extremely capable and sensitive in finding these common roots in different universes of thought. It is necessary for us to learn this unity in diversity, and this diversity in unity. We need the involvement of each diversity in the ‘pluriverse’ of our planet: a cultural and linguistic pluriverse.

Intercultural education thus represents one of the essential guidelines for defining the quality of our future, to the extent that the interaction between cultures is not only a political issue, but above all a cultural and cognitive issue… CARLINA RINALDI Making Learning Visible: Children as Individual and Group Learners What Kind of Culture Should We Build?
- 25. 'Cultural education' isnot a separate discipline, nor is it simply the illustration of the customs and religions of a country, though these are certainly important. It is more than this: it is primarily a style of educational-relational thinking ... a way of thinking that is open to others, that is open to doubt and to the awareness and acceptance of error and uncertainty. It is the interweaving of multiple cultural codes, multiple languages, 'contagion,' hybridization. It plays on boundaries, not as marginal zones ... but as places that generate the new that is born of contagion and interchange. The new thus seems to lie in promoting an educational process based on the values of human dignity, participation, and freedom.
