Abstract
As a scientific and practical approach to cultural diversity, interculturalism implies a
positive and active relationship between groups and individuals who are different from
each other in certain characteristics (national, ethnic, racial, religious, gender, and
other). The education system plays a significant role in practicing and implementing
interculturalism. Intercultural education is a teaching model that encompasses the
implementation of constructive dialogue, understanding different cultures, equality
of all citizens, and freedom to form one’s identity. The aim of this paper is to provide
a systematic review of Croatian scientific and professional literature on intercultural
education in Croatia. The review of the literature consists of the analysis of 28 papers
containing relevant information and knowledge on the research topic. As the observed
papers consider different aspects of intercultural education, these aspects were divided
into several areas, for the purpose of clarity and analysis: Intercultural competence,
Interculturalism in teaching, Intercultural curriculum, Intercultural sensitivity and
social distance, and Interculturalism in teaching Music.
