Education And Otherness: What are the Issues in a Context of Diversity?

In the era of the continuous call for the adoption of citizenship and living together (al Azhar declaration March 2017) and human brotherhood and common coexistence (Abu Dhabi document February 2019) as the basis for right human relations, a renewed reflection on the tasks of education to otherness is needed. It is no longer just a matter of informing, sensitising and raising awareness of the dangers of an absolute, inward-looking and exclusive identity, but rather of formulating a way of thinking that calls for open identities without sinking into relativism, and for the recognition of the other as a contractual relationship established at various levels and in overcoming historical conflicts.
What then would be the basis of the concept of otherness? What can be the relays of this education? What are the basic values to be implemented? Are the basic data as well as the effort of interpretation in two documents sufficient to build the basic elements of this education?

Lecture given at the 3rd international congress of the PLURIEL network, from 23 to 27 May 2022 in Beirut.
In partnership with Saint Joseph University of Beirut and La Sagesse University.

A l’ère de l’appel continu à l’adoption de la citoyenneté et du vivre ensemble (déclaration d’al Azhar mars 2017) et de la fraternité humaine et de la coexistence commune (document d’Abu Dhabi février 2019) comme fondement de la relation juste entre les humains, un renouvellement de la réflexion sur les tâches de l’éducation à l’altérité s’impose. Il ne s’agit plus seulement d’informer, de sensibiliser et de conscientiser quant aux dangers d’une identité absolue, repliée sur elle-même et exclusive mais au contraire de formuler une pensée appelant aux identités ouvertes sans sombrer dans le relativisme et à la reconnaissance de l’autre comme relation contractuelle établie à divers niveaux et en dépassement des conflits historiques.
Quel serait alors le fondement du concept d’altérité ? Quels peuvent être les relais de cette éducation ? Quelles seront les valeurs de base à mettre en œuvre ? Les données de base comme l’effort d’interprétation dans deux documents suffisent-elles à construire les éléments de base de cette éducation ?

Conférence donnée lors du 3è congrès international du réseau PLURIEL, du 23 au 27 mai 2022 à Beyrouth.
En partenariat avec l’Université Saint Joseph de Beyrouth et l’Université La Sagesse.
