Abstract

We live in a time of the advancements in communication
technology, more frequent is the influx of migration and
consequently, the education system is faced with different challenges.
With the arrival of students of different cultures, school becomes a
richer cultural environment. This change in circumstances exposes
teachers to a number of challenges. Among all the required
competences of a teacher, intercultural communication is becoming
increasingly important by time and therefore it is necessary to point
out its significance. The application of intercultural communication
is a call for the respect of human and children's rights,
accountability and acknowledgment of every individual’s national
and cultural background. Both national and international legal
framework oblige us to implement it. National and international
standards oblige us to its application.
