Abstract

Abstract: There are different definitions of multiculturalism and ways of application. We consider that multiculturalism should create conditions and climate for application of culture, individually and in the society, both in our and other culture groups, which will lead to the tearing down of cultural barriers.
Multiculturalism represents new understanding of culture, which presupposes that we are obliged to start with reformation of our multicultural practice. My contribution to this process as a professor of Turkish language consists of publishing two bilingual children`s books (Turkish-Macedonian) in Macedonia. This effort has been going on for the last ten years, due to the fact that the publishing houses do not usually publish bilingual editions. As a result of this effort, several Turkish-Macedonian books have been published intended for the youngest and dearest. By getting acquainted with stories, songs and pictures, children will start to develop the awareness for multiculturalism, and, encouraged by their teachers and environment, they will be able to apply it in their daily lives.
Key words: intercultural dialogue, intercultural practice, bilingual children literature.
