intercultural education in the educational system of the country. Starting from the basic
commitment to multiculturalism and the current multicultural education to the contemporary
need for interaction, and therefore the actualization and realization of a new situation, a new
movement - interculturalism and intercultural education. Today more than ever, we are faced
daily with global issues, the world is increasingly felt need expressed mutual communication,
which forces us to be more open and willing acceptance of other cultures.That intercultural
education is one which should contribute to personal growth and success in every sense of the
word, building figures that are complete with all the necessary knowledge, skills to face the
challenges. Intercultural education is an approach to teaching that is based on democratic
values that promote cultural pluralism in culturally diversified societies. The intercultural
dimension of education is particularly important in multicultural societies, such as
Macedonian society in which coexistence of people of different cultures have deep historical
roots.Indeed , education should be what will be directed to the development of intercultural
skills, values and attitudes of all participants in the educational process, enabling thus finding
the optimal ratio between cultural diversity and social cohesion.
