Background Text
A background text exploring the links between Intercultural learning and European Citizenship
* The document is structuresd around five main principles and core values that facilitate intercultural learning.
As the leading principle of intercultural learning, Mr. Lauritzen identified 'symmetric communication'.
A way of communication wherein both involved parties balance on an equal power level and wherein mutual respect and continuous sensitivity towards the communicating partner is essential.
Furthermore, Mr. Lauritzen lists and describes tolerance of ambiguity, creativity, solidarity and empathy as crucial values that define our (intercultural) youth work. Throughout his input Mr. Lauritzen puts all these items into relation with the historical and current political situation of our world and he emphasises the correlation with European Citizenship. He underlines the significance of the
transitory process from a world of nation states to one where multilateral co-operation and in (ter)dependency are crucial.
Mr. Lauritzen encourages to use European Citizenship not as an abstract concept but as a participative reality that they can create themselves through their work.
