SOCIALIZATION AND PERSONAL COMPETENCIES IN THE CONTEXT OF SUCCESSFUL INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Resumen

The paper discusses the problems of the intercultural education environment as socially justified. The
individual develops his/her personality by interacting with other people. This is a very complex and
multi-layered process where relations between people are enhanced by the inner necessity for
collaboration and empathy. The process itself involves exchange of meanings, development of a
unified strategy for interaction, perception and understanding of the other/the stranger that is so far
away. The social sense of the intercultural education area reveals in its ability to relay forms of cultural
and social experience. The sense of "equality" makes the pressure of suppression and restriction of
significant personality identifications lesser. The intercultural education area presupposes both
understanding of the complex and multi-dimensional personality/background identity that marks the
social development of the individual and tolerance to diversity available in various (co-)identifications.
