Social Inclusion And Intercultural Education

Social Inclusion and Intercultural Education

It is understood by social inclusion to coexistence in a full and egalitarian way in the life of each human being regardless of religion, culture or ideology, which allows them to be able to enjoy their rights. One of the important missions is to be able to build a democratic society by assessing through the same educational, labor and economic opportunities to the community for each citizen.

Social inclusion is born in the ancient age and is part of the historical course, until the stage of modernity today. From the hand of social inclusion is the multiculturalism whose fundamental tolerance, empathy and solidarity is, promoting values.

Starting mainly due to related interculturality, which refers to the relationship between cultures. "It focuses on the coexistence of people with different cultural knowledge and values ​​in a common field, but does not dispute the hierarchies and power relations that exist between the different groups" (Walsh 2010.page 77). For this reason, it would be possible to state that interculturality is part of America for the relationship between various cultural and social communities that have been for centuries.

Therefore, intercommunication and inclusion is fundamental at the same time expresses unwatch and cultural differences, with the aim of including in the established economic, political and social sphere, to the marginalized groups by himself. "Certain mechanisms are established, such as positive discrimination, to boost dialogue and tolerance, but the causes of inequalities or the logic of the capitalist neoliberal system in which they are framed" are not questioned (tubine: sp).

This criterion is the one that has been applied in policies of various Latin American territories, which have recognized cultural diversity within their borders (in the opposition of the idea of ​​uniform nation state) and have fostered peculiarly peculiar planning aimed at marginalized populations to make them feel integrated into the system.

Dialogue between cultures is promoted by encouraging empathy on economic, social and political principles, without causing differences. "For this to be feasible, internal development must be given between the marginalized groups that reinforce the knowledge of their own, considered folkloric by the dominant society, and are recognized as epistemological systems" (Walsh 2007.Pag32).

It is transmitted “finally, critical multiculturality which not only recognizes differences, but also puts the colonial difference in the debate center, that is, it questions both power relations and socio -economic and cultural hierarchy based on the racialization of racialization of People ”(Walsh 2009.page 35).

The learning of inclusion requests a communication with a purpose, we must promote it with the best that the community has, with the most attractive aspects of each of its cultures, benefiting the progressive elimination of mutual damages and resistance. A communication and reciprocal learning is indispensable under the conditions of respect, equity and discipline.

Social inclusion in the educational field cannot only be a rhetorical or politically correct form of speaking. There is already a trajectory traveled by inclusive education carrying out the mongane of values ​​and ethics. Almost no one doubts that it is an education for all and not only for minorities or immigrants. So it exposes “Intercultural exposes an educational method that places the cultural differences of individuals and communities such as the focus of reflection and inquiry (Aguado Odina, 2004a).

Its objective is to present an response to the cultural variety of the democratic communities developed from a hypothesis that respect and value cultural pluralism, as something consubstantial to modern societies and presence as a wealth of the educational resource of the educational resource. A final period is deduced in the growth of approval and assessment of cultural variables, beyond the assimilation or compensatory elections previously appointed and closely linked to related educational approaches, such as global education, multicultural education and in the case that we occupies with inclusive education.

Intercultural education is fundamentally an attitude and behavior related to the type of relationships between cultures particularly that live in a certain environment. It is suggested. It is a means to promote communication between people and to favor openness attitudes in an equal level. It does not address, then, only ethnic or cultural minorities, but it is an education for all. So it exposes “intercultural education is an education for cultural diversity and not an education for culturally different.”(Besalú 2002.Pag71).

Social inclusion guides us on the way to interaction and guarantees that all civilians enjoy their rights, and pedagogical experience, from empathy and respect from their own differences and those of others have as its purpose.

Promote coexistence and cooperation, cultivate attitudes of respect for cultures other than their own personal, cultural and academic concept, encourages a criticism of the negative and positive of each culture, and provides for ideas of what It must be overcome and allows to look for complements that contribute more than each culture of the members in educational development.
