Abstract

Abstract

In a context such as Spain, where people from different regions, countries and geographical areas coexist, educational and pedagogical debates on the concept of culture as context and culture as content often present limitations and contradictions. The aim of this chapter is to contribute to the de- velopment of knowledge in order to move towards educational practices that address cultural complexity beyond national frameworks and within diverse social contexts. The analysis is based on National discourses and previous research on educational policy and practices on cultures and cultural diversity. It highlights the need to overcome the limitations that sometimes hinder a genuine connection between policies and practices, recognising that the plurality and intersectionality of culture can be meaningfully integrated, developing new perspectives, into school education and teacher training.
