TITLE: Migrant Culture in a Changing Society: Multicultural
Europe by the Year 2000. Colloquy (Strasbourg, France,
January 18-20, 1983). The CDCC's Project No. 7: "The
Education and Cultural Development of Migrants."
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1983
NOTE: 71 p.; For related documents, see ED 235 937-943.
ABSTRACT: The 3-day colloquy was held to discuss
educational and cultural problems with a view to what
European society might be like in the year 2000.
Participants divided into three working groups, each
focusing on one of three major themes: multicultural Europe
in 2000, the role of the school in a changing society, and
migrant culture and its educational implications. The first
group, stressing the importance of cultural interaction,
noted that European migration has resulted in permanent
cultural diversity, which will entail adaptation by ethnic
minorities and native populations, and which has
implications for education and teacher training. While
noting the limitations of schools in solving social
problems (such as having to teach cultural values and
heritage, and also prepare for change), the second group
emphasized the role of schools in achieving equal
educational and occupational opportunity and in developing
intercultural education. The third group stressed the
diversity of migrant culture groups and their need to see
cultural forms of expression in their interactions with
host cultures. For each theme, the report includes an
introductory paper produced as a basis for discussion,
several papers prepared by outside experts, and the group's
final report. The report also includes the conclusions of
the Reporter General of the colloquy. (SB)
