The course focuses on developing education in the Czech multicultural society. It enables students to understand and perceive variety and differences among people from different cultures as a positive phenomenon. The aim of the course is to support development of relationships among cultures. Students learn to use their communication skills and improve cooperation with people of different socio-cultural background. Analysis and understanding of variety should create motivation to intercultural interactions, should support the feeling of solidarity and ability to reflect social and economical inequality.
