Abstract
The aim of this research was to study attitudes toward bilingualism
and the respect for diversity in the regional context and
determine if there are differences in attitudes with regard to
respondents’ certain socio-demographic characteristics, all following
the example of the literary manifestation for children named
Monte Libric. Numerous authors think that multilingualism and
multiculturality are reflected through the educational system and
readiness to train and encourage pupils at all levels of education
to develop their own identity and respect the diversity of other
identities. As many as 306 respondents participated in the
research, namely teachers, pupils, preschool teachers, students
and parents. Results have shown the value of linguistic expression
in the mother tongue (Croatian and Italian), linguistic education,
multiculturality, respect for diversity, cultural identity and the
value of children’s creativity in the regionality context, as well as
the role of identity, language and culture in encouraging the
children’s/pupils’/students’ development.
