Educação intercultural em movimento: revisitando um conceito a partir do trabalho de investigação em grupo

The purpose of this work is to place as field of discussion the research production anchored in the environment provided by the Grupo de Investigacion en Educacion Intercultural(GREDI), University of Barcelona. It focused on knowing the route of the conception of intercultural education adopted in the research produced over seventeen years (1992-2009). The intense process of immigration in recent decades and the consequent presence of cultural diversity in educational spaces feed the investigative effort to meet and build alternatives for coping with the phenomenon of multiculturalism. In this scenario the discussion guided by the concept of intercultural education have stimulated a growing academic production, bringing contributions, exploring models and intervention projects in educational settings. It is observed that the shift from simple concepts of interculturalism gives rise to more complex constructions and interfaces that point to consolidation in the interdisciplinary field of research.
