Autobiography of intercultural encounters
Context, concepts and theories
Martyn Barrett, Michael Byram
Council of Europe
Livre numérique
A tool for developing intercultural competence and facilitating the emergence
of intercultural citizenship in those who use it.
In the contemporary world, encounters with people from other cultural
backgrounds have become part of our everyday lives. These intercultural
encounters may be used as an opportunity to learn about other cultures, to
develop our capacities for effective and respectful communication, to think
about our own cultural affiliations and to reflect on ways in which we might
take action for the common good.
The Autobiography of intercultural encounters (AIE) is an educational resource
that can be used by learners to achieve all of these outcomes. It supports
learners in thinking about and learning from intercultural encounters that
they have experienced either face to face, through visual media (such as
television, films, magazines) or through the internet.
Revised and updated editions of the various versions of the AIE that have been
developed can be found in three separate volumes which accompany the present
volume. The present volume contains two accompanying papers, “Context,
concepts and theories” and “Concepts for discussion”. The former discusses the
policy context and conceptual and theoretical issues relating to intercultural
encounters and is intended for readers who wish to understand the ideas that
underlie the design of the AIE. The latter provides less technical discussions
of key concepts related to culture, identity and intercultural encounters and
can be used with learners in upper secondary education or the early years of
higher education and in non-formal and informal education.
