Sumario:The inclusion of cultural diversity – an imperative necessity in most western societies – is not only based on tolerance and respect. Heterogeneity, often considered as a great disadvantage, especially in the field of education, should be seen as a chance and an enrichment of host communities. Therefore, the contributions of this volume opt for a school education which offers equal opportunities to every student, including children and adolescents with migration backgrounds.

This anthology provides insights into newer concepts of increasing diversification in migration societies and into individual multilingualism, which is not a deviance but an obvious human condition all over the world
