As our world is becoming increasingly globalized, education - being part of the social sphere - cannot remain unaffected. This article explores the impact that the intermingling of culturally mixed populations and of diverse worldviews has on learning in postindustrial societies. Having reviewed the educational approaches that have so far ineffectively endeavoured to deal with Otherness, this article proposes the application of the 'critical interculturalist approach' - an approach that challenges the excluding patterns in postindustrial globalized societies, while at the same time building on globalization's potential for generating a more pluralistic and inclusive society
