ARGUMENT
Education, in the perspective of opening up to multiple values, is a fully justified approach, as it aims at better insertion of man into a polymorphic and dynamic spiritual world.
Thus, education meets both the desiderata of individuality, through the highlighting of particular, unique features that are worth recognizing or amplifying, as well as in the benefit of society, ensuring a certain degree of coherence, solidarity and functionality. The solidarity of the community is strengthened not only by the way in which reproduction of large symbols is managed within the respective cultural space, but also by the way openness to other cultural spaces is regulated.
A culture is great not only through itself, but also by the way it allows openings to the outside, things that are observed and learned starting in schools and continue throughout life.
That is why education gains an intercultural dimension, whose main objective lies in preparing the students to perceive, accept, respect and experience the encounter with the other, as a reason for joy, an opportunity to strengthen the feeling of living together, a desire to a common sensing and to a welcomed cooperation.
The other is an opportunity for discovery and awareness of the real identity; in the search for the other, we discover ourselves, we realize what we are, hope and deserve. The existential beauty is given to us by the other, by the miracle of getting out of ourselves, of the projection in another, by the love of the nearest one – as well as of the distant one!
