 The Power of Culture - Conference Amsterdam 1996 - Lecture by Josette Féral   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The notion of multiculturalism was subsequently replaced by 'interculturalism' which I will not try to define in any detail, suffice it to say that it gave rise to something much deeper and more interesting than multiculturalism: the idea of a mutual friction of cultures, an interaction, an exchange between cultures.
Interculturalism takes for granted that the simple act of borrowing, even if it is artistically justifiable, expresses a previously-determined political stand.

 UNESCO Conference on INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Our Paper underlines the fact that the intercultural concept is not to be assimilated with multiculturalism, which is a simple juxtaposition -- like in a mosaic structure, for instance -- of cultures, of different ways of living.
However, the intercultural outlook should be introduced, in diluted variations, into almost all subjects taught in the schools.
This is why it is indispensable to stress as much on the intercultural individual as on the intercultural society.

 Report on the Forum on Media and Interculturalism
The need for a broadly educative platform was selected as the most useful and the most constructive context to enable students and educators to access and assess both how and why texts had been produced and circulated, as well as analysis of the individual texts and their reception.
Much American work on interculturalism is built on the premise that we are all rooted in a culture, and that that culture plays an important role in determining our assumptions, attitudes and expectations.
In order to open a debate about an intercultural university for tomorrow, it is important to unpack terms such as ‘multiculturalism’, ‘interculturalism’ and anti-racism, used for envisioning a more plural society and education system and link them firmly to racism and racial harassment, without which we cannot fully imagine an ‘intercultural’ society.

 Intersections: Performed Promiscuities: Interpreting Interculturalism in the Japan Foundation Asia Centre's LEAR
Julie Stone Peters in her paper entitled 'Intercultural Performance, Theatre Anthropology, and the Imperialist Critique,' talks about the 'loaded political subtext'[5] of certain intercultural performances and goes on to challenge much of the existing intercultural theory.
In terms of analysing Interculturalism within a performance/theatre paradigm the issue of representation is of course key, as theatre and performance play pivotal roles in providing a space for marginalised and often un-represented or invisible groups to present and re-present themselves.
If interculturalism is about some form of cultural exchange, in which, due to the existing canon, the exchangers must be careful to acknowledge their positions and aims in order to avoid the label cultural tourists or appropriators, then how does this exchange differ from an act of postmodern pastiche, for example?

This will demand critical awareness of interculturalism and informed commitment by educators and learners to prevent schools, especially the formerly White schools, from continuing to embody skewed values and practices that, in a new political dispensation, enshrine rather than redress inequity.
Institutional weakness has been a major factor in failed or delayed attempts at transformation, and unless an effective institutional framework is created, the nation stands in danger of maintaining and strengthening the inequities of the apartheid system of education.
The terms "intercultural" and "interculturalism" are preferred to "multicultural" and "multiculturalism" because the former seem to more accurately suggest the action of connecting or communicating issues, notions, beliefs, values, and understandings among and between different cultures.
