Learning objectives of the course Interculturalism in the City: 1. To explore the social, cultural and economic reality of the city in the context of diversity and coexistence of different groups of inhabitants 2. To understand the concept of multi-level governance (influence of transnational, national and local policies) in the context of interculturality in the city 3. Analyse political strategies and public policies of selected cities aimed at inclusion and intercultural dialogue in the urban environment 4. Understand the influence of urban planning on the formation of interpersonal relations, segregation and integration of different communities.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to define concepts related to the integration of immigrants at the local level and to interpret the results of this process with regard to the setting of specific integration policies at the supranational, national and local level. The student will also be able to critically evaluate interculturality at the social, economic, cultural, political, urban level of urban functioning.
