Abstract

The current and acute migration issue with its consequences on educational policy and, particularly, on intercultural education is the topic of this paper. The different types of migration together with their determinant factors are presented and analyzed. The double status as possible emigrants and host for immigrants are seen as milestones of developing an effective strategy of a new approach of the intercultural education. The importance of developing of an intercultural competency for each person of the world is presented. The paper intends to be a plea for a more consistent concern for this issue in these times when a new crisis knocks at the gate of humanity. The necessity of being aware that a global vision of the education became necessary is highlighted.
