Unity and Disunity, Connections and Separations:  Intercultural
education as a movement for promoting multiple identities, social
inclusion and transformation

The main aim: The conference aims at discussing the ways in which the
plurality and contextuality of identity can be understood,
(re)constructed, positioned and explored through the theory and
practice of intercultural education.

A special emphasis will be given to contextual dimensions
(professional, social, cultural, political, historical) of identity in
relation to contemporary discourses of difference and the possibility
of their extension towards becoming a process of social transformation
in multicultural societies.

For each of these topical strands, we are accepting proposals in the
following categories:

•Papers on concluded or ongoing research in intercultural education
and related fields
•Posters, particularly on intercultural educational experiences and/or
pilot-projects
•Book and audio/video presentations, particularly on didactical
material relating to intercultural education and related fields

For each of these categories, we are currently asking for proposals,
which should be sent to the respective strand chairs (cf. below) and
which should include an abstract with the following information:

•The abstract should be between 400 and 800 words of length.
•Abstracts are to be submitted in English; in topical strand 8
abstracts may also be presented in Croatian.
•The abstract has to specify the name, institutional affiliation and
email address of the author(s) as well as the topical strand to which
it is submitted.
•It should include the paper’s / poster’s / book or audio/video
presentation’s main objectives, conceptual framework, methodology and
results. In the case of proposed book or audio/video presentations,
participating presenters and/or material producers should also be
specified in the abstract.
