| Abstract: | This paper provides a succinct presentation of the cultural diversity present in Romania today. The author shall point out some of the causes and crises that have led to the emergence of various tensions relating to: rediscovering identity, dealing with the inertia of the past, clinging to former identities, exotic identity issues, and extensive cultural and political fragmentation. This paper also presents a discussion of the origins of diversity in Romania from historical, geographical, cultural‐religious, sociological, economic and political vantage points. Finally, the paper suggests several ways in which intercultural education can be promoted and developed in the Romanian context. |
