Statements:
Statement 1 We can all accept that a chain is as strong as its weakest link. The same is true of any modern society caught in the tensions between processes of homogeneous and heterogeneous development. How a society deals with diversity is the question. Statement 2 In a globalized world we must reckon with people being highly mobile, so every society must plan to see how they will deal with being a multi-ethnic state and how they will deal with migrants.

Statement 3 No society can permit itself to waste reservoirs of talent – whatever they may be – which are to be found in all social strata. Statement 4 Education must and does play a prominent role in its contribution to meeting these challenges.

Statement 1
We can all accept that a chain is as strong as its weakest link. The same is true of any
modern society caught in the tensions between processes of homogeneous and
heterogeneous development. How a society deals with diversity is the question.

In a globalized world we must reckon with people being highly mobile, so every society
must plan to see how they will deal with being a multi-ethnic state and how they will deal with
migrants.

School
• Support is too often poorly structured and too target-oriented.
• Teachers insufficiently learn how to make use of the cultural repertoire of the migrant children.
• The concept of homogenization in teachers’ thinking is especially problematic and often widespread. Changes of attitude are necessary in order to be able to perceive plurality (from gifted to disabled) in a differentiated way and set up structures for ongoing individual support.
• Educationalists in general educational institutions and education managers need to take an intersectional view.

Higher Education
1. Culture of Higher Education: dealing with heterogeneity in
personnel and among the students plays an increasingly larger role.
2. Professorial chairs with the denomination “Heterogeneity” or “Diversity” are being filled and own profile courses introduced. Lecture programmes for doctoral students and Further Education courses are being introduced.
We therefore call for:
• The anchoring of all measures regarding Diversity in the development plans of institutions of higher education.
• Diversity must not be seen as a problem, but as a talent-rich resource.

Social Institutions
The idea of “landscapes of education” (Bildungslandschaft) describes a concept in youth and education policy, aiming at networking schools and educational institutions outside schools and offering children and young people better conditions for their education through improved cooperation and a plurality of educational opportunities. We distinguish between regional, community and local landscapes of education.
![Page 13: Diversity as a Pedagogical Challenge€¦ · By diversity, or alternatively heterogeneity we understand the differences between people regarding gender, age, ethnicity, religion,](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060606/605b0c4bdf239333f9287624/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Diversity-Management in Companies
The main idea:
The esteem of the plurality of the workforce serves the economic success of the company.
Diversity is the greatest resource in companies, if the different talents and potentials of the workforce are given effective support and used to the full, and, if this diversity is managed purposefully.
![Page 14: Diversity as a Pedagogical Challenge€¦ · By diversity, or alternatively heterogeneity we understand the differences between people regarding gender, age, ethnicity, religion,](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060606/605b0c4bdf239333f9287624/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Learning a deal with Diversity: supporting individuality
recognizing commonalities
Managing Diversity and using as a resource: Integration into society
An Inklusive Society
The acceptance of diversity as a mind-set: esteem and recognition of all individuals.
Every human being is susceptible to education
