Multiculturalism and Aspects of Intercultural education in Georgia

Abstract

This article will argue that an important prerequisite for the successful
development of Georgia is the harmonious coexistence of
different cultural representatives, this will be possible if the intercultural
education will be fostered. Educational systems and institutions
are socially responsible for the creation of such teaching
process which will prepare persons to be tolerant towards people
of different nationalities and to increase their value of differences.
An intercultural education is the obligatory precondition to
achieve these goals.
This paper analyzes the legislative and on-the-ground situation of
intercultural education in Georgia. The main research questions
are what progress has Georgia made in this direction and what are
the main challenges?
The research is partially based on secondary source analysis: articles
of various researchers, reports of different non-governmental
organizations which work to enhance multiculturalism and intercultural
education on Georgia, and the analysis of various books.
