Abstract
Nowadays in connection with breaking demographic boundaries and with Europe becoming an open institution we should try to find out if our children are prepared to respect people from different cultures and nations. If we want to teach our children how to treat people with different sociocultural habits or different colour of the skin as equals and if we want to develop their ability to tolerate the divergences of different groups, it is useful to tell them that sometimes it is not important what we do and how we do it but how we are accepted by general public and what label we have been given. Since this belief can often be based on false assumption it is necessary to explain it to children taking into account multicultural and sociocultural aspects.
The paper deals with the possibilities of developing intercultural communication with children already within primary and secondary education. The author uses the results of applied qualitative research aimed at this area of education.
