Training intercultural competence through education: Strategic and resilient amplifiers

The present study examines three topics following the current debate on intercultural competence: key ideas from modern reflections on the tense relationship between innovative education and the effects of the globalization paradigm; breaking the dissonance between intercultural strategies and gentle responses to the challenges of the crisis- generating context for school actors; the efficiency of the educational environment in terms of the cultural formation of the youth personalities, transformations and resets. The critical attitude aims at the demotivating, unsustainable and non-harmonized effects, respectively constructive and capitalizing on the empathic communication and on the resilient intercultural practices, which have proved to be efficient and qualitative. The formation of the values of intercultural competence is supported by arguments, by the values added by the actors of institutional management education, complementary to the basic competencies - scientific, technological, volitional-emotional, character-wise, pragmatic-social, and spiritual. Interrogative messages are explicit, software arguments ensure compliant and resilient behavior of educational actors to meet the challenges posed by insecure, poorly formative-innovative scenarios. Alternatives to scientific, technological, artistic, therapeutic-spiritual and psychomotor knowledge are becoming emergent due to the continuing redefining of cultural-professional and personal lifestyles process. The formative balancing process, created by intercultural education, reduces the asymmetries, the dissonances and the conflicts between the classic cultural values normality and the risks of authoritarian tendencies, between resilient, compliant and sustainable cultures emerging intergenerational and questionable discourses promoting new redefinitions, bringing forth cultural and educational arguments.
