Intercultural dialogue: An educational approach

Intercultural dialogue : An educational approach

This chapter focuses on the notion of intercultural dialogue (ICD) as a lens for considering the internationalisation policies of three European universities (Woodin, Lundgren and Castro). This led to the development of a framework for implementing an intercultural dialogue (ICD) approach in higher education. Issues of a social and educational nature, such as equity in terms of access and success, social cohesion, affordability or sustainable development, remain secondary or invisible. As D. Bourn notes: ‘even when economic forces have dominated a university’s response to globalisation, social and cultural questions have had to be recognised’. He argues for a reconsideration of pedagogy, the content of courses, the need to address intercultural dialogue and to engage higher education institutions in a more critical and student-oriented perspective with implications for citizens and societies. Within the prevailing global context of higher education, internationalisation has evolved into a broad range of rationales, discourses and approaches leading to different practices, which may conflict with each other.
