Intercultural education is of particular relevance against the background of the globally expanding number of migrants. The unequal distribution of cultural, social and economic capital represents a central challenge for pedagogical action. As a cross-sectional task that affects all pedagogical sub-disciplines, intercultural pedagogy starts at this point.

The additional subject focuses on the training and acquisition of basic theoretical knowledge as well as research and action-related competences. The development of self-reflexivity as a central component of intercultural competence is in the focus here.
