From monocultural to intercultural ways of thinking on integration and development of education

•  This paper outlines different contextual factors for the educational activities of schools with focus on multicultural and intercultural development. The number of people with foreign backgrounds in general and newly arrived people, in particular, is linked to the form of system of meaning that benefits their education and integration. The starting point and the content of the paper is based on extensive practical experience of development of education as well as recent research in that field. The purpose of the paper is to provide the educational staff with concepts and systems of thinking, or rather, systems of meaning, which help them analyze, understand and change the thinking that prevents the development of education and society to be based on diversity.
