Dialogo interetnico e Diversity Management. Competenze e aspetti trasversali nella gestione della diversità

According to the author intercultural education, which favours peaceful social integration in a social-cultural context, is embodied in the figure of the Diversity Manager as protagonist for concrete mediation and interethnic management. The Manager is not simply a passive figure indifferent to diverse forms of cultural relations, but rather a promoter of a continuous and productive exchange of views between different interpretive models, open to dialogue and social-psychological dynamics relative to ethnic groups, male/female gender, sexual orientation, status level. Optimizing these differences in a complex society lets the Diversity Management modify the negative paradigms stemming from individual “differences” (resistance to change, stereotypes, prejudices, archetypes, labelling, discrimination, persecution, phobias, stigma, cultural discrimination, ostracisms, racial genocide.) in wealth, obtaining an effective management of individual peculiarities, inclinations, potentials, limits, and the unique patrimony of the true individual.
