'The authors' extensive knowledge of the field promotes and enriches international dialogue about intercultural education and competences, and considers its development over the past thirty years. By presenting theoretical foundations, research findings, practical examples and case studies, the book helps readers (especially teachers) to go beyond stereotypes and prejudices and strengthen their practice.' Agostino Portera Professor of Intercultural Education, University of Verona, Italy'When scholars and practitioners fail to evolve their approaches and orientations, even the most progressive movements are at risk of deteriorating and becoming indistinguishable from the conditions they were meant to disrupt. This book pulls together a diverse spectrum of contributors who model this sort of evolution. It poses hard questions and applies contemporary thinking on such ideas as well-being, dialogue, and institutional reform as it imagines what intercultural education could be in its most transformative forms.'Paul GorskiFounder and Director of Equity Literacy Institute, USA
