Abstract
The text introduces the explanatory potential of the concept of transculturation in intercultural education approaches. In the context of today’s migration situation in Europe, there is a need for alternative educational strategies. In these circumstances, the concept of transculturation/transculturality might be one of the proposals that should be considered. Giving consideration to the changing globalised reality that poses new challenges to education systems around the world, I discuss two important concepts of transculturality: Fernando Ortiz’s concept of transculturation and Wolfgang Welsch’s proposal of transculturalism and transcultural identity. I supplement them with other threads related to transcultural proposals. I am referring primarily to Dirk Hoerder’s concept of Transcultural Societal Studies and the proposal set forth by Lyudmyla Gorbunova. Next, I mention two international research projects in which Polish researchers have taken part, and which, in my opinion, are of a transcultural nature. Finally, I enumerate the most important elements of the discussed concepts of transculturalism/transculturation, which demonstrate their explanatory potential in the context of intercultural education.
