INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
The document discusses the relationship between language and culture. It notes that language allows for the development, transmission, and preservation of culture by enabling the sharing of meanings, experiences, ideas, plans and traditions across generations. While language and culture influence each other, some linguists believe that language can determine aspects of a culture's norms, beliefs and values through structuring thought in certain ways. Overall, the document examines the close connection between language and culture and how they are intertwined and influence one another.
Pestalozzi gypsy
This document discusses integrating Roma (gypsy) children into the Italian school system. It provides an overview of the history of Roma schooling in Italy from 1963 to the present, moving from special classes to compulsory education for all Roma children. It also discusses approaches to integration through plurilingualism, intercultural education rather than assimilation, and using technology to address poverty and exclusion. The document was presented by Cinzia Colaiuda of the Italian Ministry of Education.
Vivre en Aquitaine - Eurocall 2011
The document discusses the Aquitaine Europe project which aims to foster mobility and intercultural dialogue through language learning. It promotes plurilingualism and intercomprehension, which involve using existing language skills and cultural knowledge to communicate across languages. The project will research how intercomprehension strategies can be developed in monolingual, multilingual, and plurilingual language learning contexts.
Teramo 2016
This document discusses language education policy in Europe. It provides context on the "language question" in the 19th-20th centuries and defines language policy and planning. It then addresses topics like globalization, education quality vs. quantity, and top-down vs. bottom-up approaches. An example is provided of an Italian project taking a bottom-up, quality-focused approach through autobiographies to foster cultural integration. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of quality language education for integration in Europe and its role in innovation and social change in a globalized world.
Language crossing
This document discusses language crossing as an act of identity. It describes language crossing as the switching of codes by inserting elements from one language (the source language or SL) into another (the target language or TL) during conversations. This allows bilingual speakers to interchange ideas and express solidarity. Language crossing can have consequences in terms of sharing socio-cultural aspects and interchanging language codes and discourse community features between bilingual people. It is used for more complex expressions of cultural identity and positioning toward others through prosody and intonation. Cultural identity is complex and can vary depending on social context, being modified by both formal representations and an individual's dialect.
Teramo 2016
This document outlines the key topics to be discussed at an international conference on language education policy in Europe. It will examine the construction of identities through narratives and evaluate language policies based on their objectives and indicators of quality. Some of the main points to be covered include the role of education in an interconnected world, definitions of language policy and planning, approaches to language education between globalization and standardization, and examples of quality in education through bottom-up approaches and narrative identity construction. The conference aims to rethink the European project through a focus on quality in language and education.
Interc lote 2010
This document discusses the importance of intercultural language learning and how it helps students develop communication skills, understand other cultures and ways of thinking, and see the world from different perspectives. It argues that language is inherently cultural and that to truly understand a language, one must understand the culture. Technology can support intercultural language learning by providing tools for collaboration, access to information, and opportunities for authentic communication across cultures.
Quote
This document argues that everybody should be fluent in at least two languages to acknowledge their ethnic roots as part of being human. Language rights are a prerequisite for other human rights and linguistic diversity in education is necessary to maintain global diversity that everyone is responsible for.

This document discusses transmedia and analyzes the digital text "Inanimate Alice" as a transmedia artifact. It defines transmedia as conveying stories across multiple media platforms. Henry Jenkins views it as stories with roles and goals for readers to enact aspects of the story. "Inanimate Alice" uses multiple platforms like its digital novel, games, social media, and print versions. It qualifies as transmedia by requiring readers to drive the narrative forward at their own pace and interact across languages, cultures, and personal experiences. Its well-planned use of different media engages learners and encourages community.
Etwinning Presentation
This document describes an eTwinning project that aims to bring together students from different generations and cultures to promote tolerance. The project involved 441392 teachers, 173989 schools and 56141 projects across 10 countries in Europe. Students interviewed grandparents to identify similarities and differences between generations, reduced prejudices, learned about different cultures, and developed language and communication skills. They shared work through presentations, interviews, photos, e-books and other media. The goal was for students to understand that despite cultural and personal differences, people are very similar.

Integration conference "My home, our home: what unites us in a multicultural community" on 15th and 16th November in Tallinn, Estonia. Conference webpage: www.integrationconference.eeMultilingualism
This document discusses societal multilingualism and how it arises. It notes that most countries and communities are multilingual rather than monolingual. Multilingualism can develop through migration, both voluntary and involuntary, as well as through conquest and colonial policies that incorporate different language groups. This has led to diverse mixes of languages within countries that can be stable or volatile. The document also discusses concepts like language loyalty, endangered languages, and the close connection between language and ethnic identity.
Language and culture expo 1
Culture refers to what has been grown and groomed by humanity, in contrast to nature which refers to what grows organically. Language, culture, and humanity's relationship with nature are inextricably linked. As human cranial capacity increased over 200,000 years ago, it allowed for greater developments in technology, language, and social organization. Language was a crucial development that enabled humans to conceptualize, acquire knowledge, develop meaning, and express ideas, which in turn fed the development of culture through learning and transmission between individuals and groups. Culture represents humanity's way of constructing meaning and reality through our relationship with the natural world.
Sani assignment
This document discusses the relationship between language and identity. It defines language and explores its functions in communicating thoughts and feelings, as well as uniting or dividing people. There are different types of identity, including master, interactional, personal, and relational identities. Language plays a key role in national identity by representing cultures through symbols, history, and education. Cultural identity is also linked to language and how it shapes experiences and group belonging. In conclusion, language profoundly shapes social and ethnic identities by determining social status and power within a community.
Language and cognition
This document discusses the relationship between language diversity and human cognition and thought from an anthropological perspective. It examines two main strategies for comparing languages - the domain-centered strategy, which looks at how languages partition domains of reality, and the structure-centered strategy, which examines differences in grammatical structures across languages. The anthropological approach views no single language as superior and aims to compare languages in a neutral way. Research on the impact of language diversity faces inherent challenges due to biases from one's native language affecting understanding of other languages and conceptions of reality.
Italy: Intercultural Dialogue
The document discusses promoting intercultural dialogue in Europe through education. It aims to recognize Europe's multicultural diversity and build a society where different cultures coexist peacefully. Specific objectives include increasing awareness of the importance of intercultural dialogue, encouraging education to foster understanding of diversity and good social practices, and exploring new approaches to intercultural dialogue. The document outlines tasks for educators, including showing human diversity through school programs and new teaching methods, and training teachers to act as cultural agents who promote tolerance and participation.
Language, Power, Identity & Global Politics
This document discusses the interrelationship between language, power, and identity in a globalized world. It argues that language is used to communicate, unite or divide people, and assert power through maintaining power relations and identities. Power shapes language by controlling discourse and agenda-setting. Identity is depicted through language and constantly negotiated. As globalization increases, new technologies and power relations emerge, reshaping concepts of power and information. International languages take on economic and cultural functions to share rather than impose ideas. Language plays a vital role in the foreign policy of global powers as they seek to promote their language and reshape identities.
History of media unit 1
Human communication evolved from oral traditions such as cave paintings and pictograms to the development of written symbols around 30,000 years ago. The invention of writing systems allowed information to be preserved and disseminated more widely. Oral traditions remained important for passing knowledge between generations in societies without writing. The printing press was a major innovation that led to the evolution of mass media like newspapers.
Linguistics identitiES
This document discusses issues of linguistic identity in the context of globalization. It addresses how movement of people and ideas across borders has intensified contact between languages and created new hybrid identities. Globalization has led to changing conceptualizations of self and flexible linkages between language and speaker. Debates around linguistic identity often center on whether globalization leads to linguistic homogeneity or emphasis on local languages, but recent work views the relationship between local and global languages as more complex, recognizing hybridity and fluid identities. The case of English illustrates this complexity, as new Englishes have emerged but are still positioned as non-standard within global power structures.
Chapter 3
The document discusses World Englishes and intercultural communication, including Kachru's three circles model of inner, outer, and expanding circle countries. It also examines recent cognitive approaches to studying varieties of English, how cultural conceptualizations can facilitate or impede intercultural communication, and the importance of intercultural competence for successful intercultural interactions.
Slide 5
When people use language, the meaning is shaped by the social context. One's identity is formed by social constructs and language practices. Taking on new language requires internal changes. A child is enculturated in their native culture but it is possible to be native in more than one culture. Adults can consciously adapt aspects of two cultures through acculturation. Translanguaging views bilingualism as valuable in its own right and questions the existence of discrete languages, instead seeing multilingualism as integrated repertoires within a diverse mental grammar. Being immersed in more than one culture allows one to draw from both sources in communication, socialization, world view, and tolerance of diversity.
Language and Cultureal Identity
1) Cultural identity is complex and defined by relationships with other individuals and groups. Understanding other cultures helps people better understand their own identity.
2) Valuing cultural diversity and allowing cultural expression are important for countering racism. Denying cultural expression limits the sharing of unique perspectives.
3) After living in multiple cultures, people broaden their perceptions and begin to feel part of a multicultural identity rather than only their original culture. Returning to their original culture can make them feel like outsiders.
cooper language power
The document discusses English as a global language of power and its relationship to minority language students learning English as a second language in New Zealand schools. It notes that English has become the dominant international language due to the historical power and influence of countries like the United States and United Kingdom. For ESL students in New Zealand, learning English is important to fully participate in the predominantly English-speaking society and have equal opportunities. Teachers have an important role in supporting ESL students and helping them develop English proficiency while acknowledging their diverse cultural backgrounds.
Joanna - Selected issues of multicultural education in Poland
Joanna - Selected issues of multicultural education in PolandMulticultural Interdisciplinary Handbook Project
This document discusses multicultural education in Poland. It provides definitions of multicultural education and notes that while Poland has become more diverse, it remains fairly homogeneous. There is little available e-learning material on multicultural topics in Polish schools. When materials do exist, they are typically created by NGOs and focus on Polish minorities and topics like religion, history with Germany and Jews in Poland. Multicultural topics are not well integrated into the formal curriculum and there are no dedicated courses, limiting meaningful discussion of these issues. Some initiatives have emerged, like a Polish-German history textbook developed through bilateral cooperation.Phenomenon of study
This document discusses various terms related to language and literacy development, including translingualism. It proposes that learners who move between their native and additional languages and cultures may be considered "trans-language learners." While translingualism is worthy of study, the definitions presented are broad and do not clearly distinguish it from other concepts like bilingualism. The document advocates for viewing language and literacy development as fluid processes that occur through interacting with multiple languages and cultural identities.
Langnatpres
The document discusses language policy and multilingualism in the European Union (EU). It notes that while the EU recognizes 23 official languages, English is emerging as a common language of communication. Several reports and analyses are summarized that address issues like:
- Promoting multilingualism while minimizing disadvantages
- Encouraging learning of "personal adoptive languages" between EU citizens
- Whether equality is best achieved through equal recognition of all languages, linguistic harmonization, or language maintenance
- How multilingualism helps build a pan-European identity without compromising national identities
Search congress lisboa 2010
The document discusses various topics related to social media marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), and online reputation management. It mentions upcoming conferences in Lisbon on topics like social media, SEO, web analytics, and real-time web. It provides tips on SEO strategies like link building, meta data, and tracking website users. It also discusses using social networks, user engagement online, and protecting one's online reputation.

The Right To Education Roma Students In The European Union
The role of the European Union is extremely important in the promotion of human rights for the Roma. European Union conditionality has been a key motivator in inducing Central and Eastern European acceding states to implement policies of non-discrimination towards their Roma minorities. The European Union continues to be an important leader in the promotion of minority rights for the Roma living in its new member states. My paper examines the right to education, and seeks to determine whether or not this right is being equally accorded to Roma EU citizens. My paper examines Roma cultural perspectives on education and closes with some recommended interventions to increase access to and quality of education for the Roma living in the European Union.
The Intercultural Dialogue
The document discusses the objectives of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue in 2008. The goals were to promote intercultural dialogue, highlight its benefits for a diverse society, and make citizens, especially youth, sensitive to developing open and respectful European citizenship.

Louaize pres ahmed jammal
In his address, Mr. Ahmad Jammal discusses the role of universities in fostering cultural diversity and dialogue. He notes that throughout history, contact between different human groups has often led to either conflict or cultural fusion. Now, in our globalized world, universities can play a particularly positive role in enabling understanding between civilizations through open exchange of ideas among students and scholars of diverse backgrounds. Mr. Jammal emphasizes that universities provide ideal environments for intercultural and international dialogue through their curricula, academic environments, and emphasis on cultural rights and understanding different perspectives. He concludes by thanking the conference organizers and expressing hope that their discussions will help promote constructive dialogue and peace, especially in Lebanon's current circumstances

1) In the past, when human groups were isolated, diverse identities, traditions, and cultures developed over time. When groups met, clashes or fusions often occurred, shaped by factors like cultural dominance. Fusions usually led to civilization progress through information exchange.
2) In today's globalized world, topics like cultural diversity, identity, and privacy discussed at this conference are significant on social, cultural, economic levels. Universities play a positive role in this interaction by uniting diverse thinkers in cooperation and idea exchange.
3) Universities not only prepare students for careers but also foster cultural diversity and rights by enabling students to understand each other through shared exploration of arts, values, and lifestyles. They promote

Seminário Gillian Moreira
This document discusses intercultural communication and cyberculture. It notes that with increasing globalization, the ability to engage in respectful intercultural dialogue is important for nations, communities and individuals. Intercultural communication involves the negotiation of shared meanings between individuals from different cultural communities. The cyber world also has its own culture and values that should be considered when communicating online. Challenges can arise in intercultural communication online due to the lack of physical and linguistic cues. However, interaction in cyberspace can also help build transcultural identities and promote less ethnocentric world views.

5 November - World Day of Romani Language
SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE “SAFEGUARDING OUR ROMANI LANGUAGE”.
Digital Event Zoom Webinar
Organized by: the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture (ERIAC), in partnership with the Council of Europe and the University of Graz.
Intervention by: Dan Pavel DOGHI
Intercultural communication
Nowadays, we need to learn how to communicate all over again, just like when we were children. This requires learning language as well as learning behavioral norms for good communication. However, this will be a bit different since we're adults learning how to communicate in someone else's culture, not our own.
Intercultural communication is the verbal and nonverbal interaction between people from different cultural backgrounds. Basically, 'inter-' is a prefix that means 'between' and cultural means… well, from a culture, so intercultural communication is the communication between cultures. Sometimes, this is used to describe a single person trying to interact in a foreign environment but more often, it is a two-way street, where people from both cultures are trying to improve their communication.
The Intercultural Dialogue
The document discusses promoting intercultural dialogue in Europe through education. It aims to recognize Europe's multicultural diversity and build a society where different cultures coexist peacefully. Specific objectives include increasing awareness of the importance of intercultural dialogue, encouraging education to foster understanding of diversity and good social practices, and exploring new approaches to intercultural dialogue. The document outlines tasks for educators to incorporate human diversity and new teaching methods to help children integrate and respect different cultures. It also discusses using films in education to make complex topics evident and foster sensitivity and understanding of intercultural coexistence.
Multiculturalism
Mutual tolerance of multiculturalism is important to prevent misconceptions between cultural groups and exacerbating tensions. While some countries like Canada, Australia and Malaysia officially promote multiculturalism, Germany has found that attempts to build a multicultural society have failed. Overcoming challenges like ethnocentrism, dominant ideologies and cultural arrogance can help societies achieve multiculturalism and its benefits, like economic gains from international trade and greater global understanding. Education is key to developing multicultural awareness and appreciation of differences.

The GothsforcedtheRomans back acrosstheDanube in the 3rd century AD, andotherinvadersfollowed.

- 5. What we got from all these peoples that inhabited us: Latins: language, culture, self Slavons: romanticism, religion, mysticism Turks: courage in the battle, intrigues, food Magyars: pride, food, elegance Germans: order, cleanness, diligence
- 6. Roma minority has a special status The dialogue with this people is hindered by numerous stereotypes and prejudices: they respect only their laws, they steal, beg, don’t want to work or to learn. They are currently perceived as a social problem and a source of national shame, but if there is a sustained investment program in their education, the problem could become a benefit not only for Romania but for the EU itself.
- 7. What is the Intercultural dialogue? Intercultural dialogue is a process that comprises an open and respectful exchange or interaction between individuals, groups and organisations with different cultural backgrounds or world views. Among its aims are: to develop a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives and practices; to increase participation and the freedom and ability to make choices; to foster equality; and to enhance creative processes. In this sense, intercultural dialogue processes or encounters are to go beyond a mere 'tolerance of the other' and can involve creative abilities that convert challenges and insights into innovation processes and into new forms of expression.
- 8. What people say about the intercultural dialogue: “…is a coulourfulexchange, more than a conversation, moreeventhan a dialogue, in whichboundaries are beingcrossed, assumptions put aside, newvisions come tomind…(Maria, Romanian magyar) “ It doesn’t matter if we are Magyars or Germans or Romanians, we were grown up together , we went to school together, we speak the same language…we don’t even realize when we are speaking our native language, we understand each other in any of them” (Klaus, from Sibiu) “According to me, it means to be open and have a genuine respect for an unknown culture. To let go prejudices, to try and understand the other…” (Georgeta, student in Bucharest)
- 10. “In every member state we have to take what is better from its cultural and spiritual legacy. We will have to face these challenges with responsibility, and we will succeed only if we break down the barriers of ignorance through dialogue. The ignorant and offending stereotypes regarding one people or another should for ever disappear.” Jan Figel, the European Commissioner for Culture and Education
