In search of educational approaches and methodologies that will allow our education system to produce socially-aware citizens who accept the Other.

Recent decades have seen Greece become a host country for immigrants—a development that caught the educational system unprepared. In their efforts to induct children with only a limited knowledge of the Greek language into schools, the educational authorities underestimated a corresponding need: to teach Greek students to accept the Other. By tabling this issue for discussion, the Onassis Stegi is embarking on the search for educational approaches and methodologies that will allow our education system to transcend idées fixes and prejudices and produce rational, socially-aware citizens who are not predisposed to view the Other with hostility.
