Multiculturalism has become a prevalent term in educational discourse, often taken for granted in curriculum literature. However, significant variations in its interpretation exist across different world regions. This book offers a fresh perspective on multiculturalism through the lens of art education, highlighting its unique ability to explore cultural values beyond language barriers, providing deep insights into cultural change. To address diverse educational interpretations and methods of implementing multiculturalism globally, the book features discussions and analyses from thirteen countries, contributed by respected multicultural experts. Each chapter offers unique insights into the specific challenges of multiculturalism as viewed through art in educational contexts. Collectively, the book equips readers with tools for conceptual analysis of contemporary notions related to multiculturalism, including interculturalism, internationalism, and globalization, alongside practical strategies for art teaching. While acknowledging the complexities of 'multicultural education,' it presents conceptual frameworks to help educators critically examine their teaching practices concerning equity and diversity, which are central to the ongoing multicultural education debate.
