In general, globalisation is understood to be working as a
unit, eventually, on a planetary scale, through networks of
interconnections. A variety of standpoints have developed
with regard to this novel phenomenon. There is no doubt
that technological advances are changing our lives, the
life of each one of us; that the virtual revolution – if it can
be so called – is affecting us whether we like it or not: it
has some costly personal consequences.
What are the challenges of education in a globalised
world, in the knowledge society? How can globalisation
and diversity be combined? Is to globalise the same as to
homogenise? How can citizenship be connected to diversity?
What is or could be the role of the media and the new
information and communication technologies in this process?
Why is the reaction to the accelerated process of globalisation,
a strengthening of the need for identity?
