Interculture and environment: a complex relationship
Rosella Persi
Environment and interculture are inseparable elements of our time problems. The text proposes a critical reflection to highlight the relationships between multiculturalism and intercultural environment. It is in fact important to understand that mostly the great migratory flows originate from environments with scarce resources and hostility of natural and political factors.
The migrants’ background can, in some cases, negatively affect insertion into new life contexts, compromising inclusion and causing difficulties in new relationships. Intercultural education, aimed at developing a plural thought and intercultural communication skills, intertwines and shares the goals with environmental education, since both work to promote sustainable and participatory integration.
