The world is big. It spans over 7 continents. Some of us never get the chance to travel to another country, let alone another continent. However, now there’s internet and an opportunity to learn more about each other and knock down prejudice about other nations and peoples.

The multiperspective character of intercultural education is emphasised through the specific goals of the four pillars of education, which are defined by the Committee on International Education for the 21st century:

• Learning to know

• Learning to do

• Learning to live together

• Learning to be

Our desire to have friends from all over the World is to be expected, to get to know their language, culture and tradition, but hardly any of us manage to fulfill it. Each of us knows what the flag of our friends’ country looks like, but we’d also like for our friends residing in distant parts of this planet to be able to draw our country’s flag and to recognise it in a colourful ocean of different flags.

We all know and love our own country’s language. Would you like to see your peers from all over the world to learn some words in your native language? Let’s start with these 7 magical words and expressions:

1. HELLO

2. GOODBYE

3. THANK YOU

4. PLEASE

5. HERE YOU ARE

6. I’M SORRY

7. I LOVE YOU

Svet je veliki. Prostire se na 7 kontinenata. Neki od nas nikada ne otputuju u drugu državu, a kamolli na drugi kontinet.

Pa ipak, sad postoji Internet i prilika da naučimo više jedni o drugima i srušimo predrasude o drugim nacijama i narodima.

Multiperspektivni karakter interkulturalnog obrazovanja istaknut je u specifičnim ciljevima kroz „četiri stuba obrazovanja“ koje je identifikovala Međunarodna komisija za obrazovanje za 21. vek:

• Učiti da znam
• Učiti da radim
• Učiti da živim zajedno sa drugima
• Učiti da budem razvijenija ličnost

Normalno je da poželimo da imamo prijatelje širom Planete i da se upoznamo sa njihovim

jezikom, kulturom i tradicijom, ali se to retko nekome od nas i ostvari. Svako od nas zna kako izgleda zastava njegove zemlje, ali sigurno bismo želeli da i naši priajtelji na udaljenim tačkama planete nacrtaju zastavu naše zemlje i da je prepoznaju u mnoštvu drugih zastava.

Svi znamo jezik svoga naroda i volimo ga. A da li biste voleli da vaši vršnjaci u dalekom svetu nauče neke reči na vašem maternjem jeziku? Neka to bude ovih 7 čarobnih reči:

1. ZDRAVO

2. DOVIĐENJA

3. HVALA

4. MOLIM

5. IZVOLI

6. IZVINI

7. VOLIM TE
