Abstract
The reality of multicultural educational environment presupposes the extension of scientific concepts of modern intercultural education. The authors’ vision of it represented in the article is determined by the traditions of cultural theories among which Ch. Jacob’s concept of “the site of learning” (lieu de savoir) was chosen as the leading one. The authors ponder intercultural education as the base for a new environment where the dialogue of pedagogical and family cultures takes place. This position enables the orientation of the research towards a wider and more profound perception of education and its interpretation as a continuous process of lifelong and life-wide learning. The concept involves the unity and continuity of education ensuring the development of teachers’ and parents’ competences and determines the mission of intercultural education as the key factor of competence parenting. The paper provides the characterization of intercultural education as “the site of learning” of the dialogue of pedagogical and family cultures and reveals their interaction within educational environment. The orientation of the dialogue of both cultures towards balanced coexistence in the child’s best interest can ensure reliable social integration of families through expanding their pedagogical and social awareness and educational experience acquired in modern education environment.
