We are currently working on accessible versions of single presentations that will be available on the APS

YouTube channel soon.

The contemporary world is full of various, surprising occurrences arising in of dynamic

changes and collisions of phenomena, often contradictory in their nature. Human,

embedded in a world of various axiological systems and discourses, becomes a participant

in the game of reason and belief that impedes dialogue and may be a source of conflicts.

In this perspective, the key question is about the role of education in preparing people for

living in a multicultural world, marked by both opportunities and challenges. The answer

requires a wider view, which is possible by adopting an interdisciplinary perspective.

The main goal of the conference is to create safe space for an extensive debate about

education in the context of opportunities and challenges in the multicultural world.
