En Italie, le phénomène migratoire a également eu un impact sur le système scolaire, devenant un champ potentiel intéressant pour les rencontres interculturelles et interreligieuses. En ce qui concerne, par exemple, la présence d’élèves et d’étudiants et de leurs familles de confession islamique, très fréquemment, l’accent est mis presque exclusivement sur des questions et des demandes spécifiques, telles que l’exemption de l’enseignement de la religion catholique ou un régime alimentaire particulier. D’autre part, on discute rarement de la façon dont la présence de diverses confessions peut créer une opportunité unique pour la diffusion de la connaissance mutuelle et la promotion de la “culture de la rencontre”. En fait, l’engagement avec les autres religions est un devoir incontournable, à la fois pédagogique et civique. Par conséquent, partant d’une analyse des aspects pédagogico-éducatifs du Document sur la Fraternité Humaine pour la Paix Mondiale et la Coexistence, le but de cet article est d’esquisser une réflexion sur le concept de dialogue interculturel/interreligieux, surtout comme un défi pédagogique et une mesure préventive contre l’extrémisme, dans le cadre plus large de la citoyenneté inclusive.
