Pomiędzy teorią a praktyką kontaktu międzykulturowego

Abstract

The text draws attention to the theory and practice of intercultural contact, constituting the basis of the communal functioning of communities, groups and individuals. By referring to interactionist concepts and praxis, we attempt to present the realities of conducting intercultural (Polish-Israeli) youth meetings. The meetings allow to increase the chance of achieving positive results in the area of reducing mutual stereotypes and prejudice. The text attempts to indicate the possibilities of applying the theory of intercultural contact in praxis related to international Polish-Israeli projects which conform to the framework of intercultural education.
