These issues are in a simultaneous process of differentiation and globalization within schools as well as on individual experiences in societies. Education and schools are faced with the challenge from several directions: education for tolerance and understanding in an environment that itself is undergoing considerable changes which originate from the new forms of technology and social division of labour and the cultural globalization. Consequently, the aim of this conference is at tackling these issues from various perspectives. The conference will focus particularly on the following questions: multicultural and intercultural education, ethnicity and learning experiences via life-histories of different ethnic and social groups, new learning environments and knowledge structures, etc. Therefore, the themes will be explored particularly around and in relation to the main issues of Education, knowledge and culture. The organizers of the conference invite proposals to be send in the following substantive areas: 1. Intercultural education in multicultural society 2. Racism and education 3. Life-histories of learning and education 4. Gender and education 5. School as a crossroad of learning and living 6.
