SILVA, Daniela Filipa Santos  e  SILVA, Sofia Marques da. Knowing contexts, knowing professionals: A contribution to explore the development of intercultural competences in educational contexts. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.1, pp.38-60. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.10278.

The increasing mobility and migration movements in the European contemporary society have impacted multiple social contexts, bringing particular challenges to the education field. In this line, cultural diversity issues become heard, not only due to the emergence of mediatic situations, but also because they remind us of “old” diversities, sometimes forgotten. This article aims to contribute to a discussion which combines global concerns and influences local education contexts. This contribution comes from a qualitative study that aimed to account for competences that were valued, appropriated and used by professionals in formal, non-formal and informal education contexts, while working with ethnic diversities, namely with young people with a migrant background and from ethnic minorities. The semi structured interviews and the focus group discussions allowed us to know a set of professional competences which are organized into three dimensions: relational, practical and cultural and social integration.
