description With the advent of globalization and an ever-growing widespread access to information and communication technologies (ICTs), the cultural minorities become increasingly involved in a process of cultural standardization at the expense of their own cultural identity and language. Different social, economic, and technological elements, together with mainstream education play a very important role in the negation of regional and local cultural identities. These factors lead minoritarian cultural groups to see the dominant culture as more attractive and modern, which often pushes them to abandon their own culture in the hope of better employment perspectives and a better lifestyle for them and their children. In the face of this cultural crisis, intercultural education for all can help stop the erosion of cultural diversity around the world.

In the face of this cultural crisis, intercultural education for all can help stop the erosion of cultural diversity around the world. Con el advenimiento de la globalización y el acceso cada vez más amplio a las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), las minorías culturales se han visto inmersas en un creciente proceso de estandarización cultural a costa de su propia identidad cultural y su lengua. Distintos elementos sociales, económicos y tecnológicos, junto con la corriente educativa principal, juegan un papel muy importante en la negación de las identidades culturales locales y regionales. Estos factores llevan a las culturas minoritarias a considerar la cultura dominante como más atractiva, y moderna, lo cual a menudo los empuja a abandonar su propia cultura con la esperanza de mejores perspectivas de empleo y un mejor estilo de vida para ellos y sus hijos. De cara a esta crisis cultural, la educación intercultural puede ayudar a detener la erosión de la diversidad cultural alrededor del mundo.
