Promotes more mutual understanding.

Interculturalism is more critical of illiberal cultural practices e.g. FGM, forced marriage

No 'us and them' mindset

Places more emphasis on bringing different migrant groups together

Anti-segregation]]> 2018-05-04 06:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/SOCI90010/week9_Gs/wish/257919504 Ayumi, Irina, Chelsea, Priya & Hugh C hconngleton https://padlet.com/SOCI90010/week9_Gs/wish/257920563 Interculturalism navigates notions of national identity by focusing on common values that are derived from all national identities - to form one identity that the population, encompassing people of all different ethnic/cultural backgrounds can derive a shared sense of identity.

It is believed that with this common understanding and appreciation that everyone belongs to these values, there is a stronger tolerance for the differences in how different groups practice their commitment to these values.]]> 2018-05-04 06:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/SOCI90010/week9_Gs/wish/257920563
