ENIn today’s world politicians, scientists, the media and the general population of numerous countries show much more interest in the topic of interculturalism. One of the reasons thereof is globalization of the world and an increase in international migration flows. In Lithuania this topic has been researched quite sporadically, and usually focuses on only some issues related to interculturalism. The article presents approaches of foreign and Lithuanian scholars and international organizations (UN, UNESCO, etc.) to the phenomenon of interculturalism and trends of its expression in contemporary society, and analyses the results of an empirical study of 2015 with about 1100 participants. On the basis of the collected data the article presents evaluation of the trends of interculturalism development and its characteristic ‘weak points’. [From the publication]
