Looking back at the last century with its devastating wars,
genocides, environmental disasters, more often than not caused by
humans, an urgent need for a paradigmatic shift in human
relationships suggests itself. Other factors point in the same
direction, such as movement towards globalization, reflected in
greater fragmentation of society, of growing migration of persons
across state boundaries, resulting in ethnic clashes of culture and
competing claims over territories. This means that greater social
cohesion is needed while at the same time a heightened awareness of
difference and mutual respect has to be fostered. It is widely
accepted that education is a crucial agency in developing a new
awareness of "the self" and "the other" -- education at the formal,
informal and non-formal level. The essays in this collection
reflect on the possibilities of a "common future" and on
educational programs and projects that are aimed at transforming
the vision of a more humane world into reality.
