Abstract

The article draws attention to the challenges facing societies in the era of rapid social, cultural or political changes. A characteristic feature of modern societies is their growing multiculturalism, which assumes the acceptance of diversity, the existence of individual cultures in the public and private sphere. Intercultural education, which emphasizes intercultural dialogue, can prepare for living and interacting in multicultural societies. The task of intercultural education is therefore to shape social attitudes that will allow modern societies to develop peacefully and build a stable future. The issues raised became particularly important in the face of war, social and political changes in various parts of Europe, the growing phenomenon of emigration, etc. These problems affect Poland to a large extent. Therefore, a question arises: how is Poland prepared for multiculturalism? What is the scientific discourse in this area? What are the proposed directions for the development of intercultural education?
