Educational discourses with regards to intercultural
life and its meaning for schooling and teacher training focus
increasingly on processes of continued dynamic change. Migration
is not as much to be understood as a distinctive move from
the native country to a new home country than as an ongoing “floating
state”: People move in and move on; children perceive
their lives as “in between”. This contribution
introduces theoretical, empirical, and practical approaches
to the academic discourse of transnationalism. Relationships
with other disciplinary fields (such as “transgender”,
and “transitions” in educational systems) are established.
Conclusions with regards to further develop a “pedagogy
of multiplicity”, and related concrete concepts for research
and teacher training (beginning as early as elementary level),
are drawn.
