Multicultural approaches in education: a German experience

This paper is about learning in a multicultural context. It is not an outcome of academic research nor has it been composed in the tradition of armchair anthropology. It describes the development of a project which set off as an initiative in the field of pre‐school education to improve opportunities for Turkish migrant children, without expecting them to accomplish a one sided process of assimilation. Hence the work of the project and its co‐operating partners involved and affected a much wider range of people than the original ‘target group’, which accounts for the fact that in the following relatively little will be said about Turkish children.
