Abstract
Estas últimas décadas han estado caracterizadas
por cambios sociales importantes, debido fundamentalmente
a las migraciones y a la globalización. Estos
cambios, no siempre han sido entendidos como positivos
por los ciudadanos de acogida, provocando sentimientos
de rechazo y racismo frente al “otro”. Para
hacer frente a esta situación social, necesitamos de la
ayuda de profesionales que nos ayuden a reconstruir
los esquemas sociales que identifican las relaciones
personales desde la interculturalidad, encontrando
como profesionales emergentes a los y las mediadoras
interculturales. En este artículo, se presentan las
primeras evidencias del estudio de caso que estamos
llevando a cabo con una mediadora, definiendo la importancia
de la mediación intercultural en diferentes
ámbitos sociales: sanitario, familiar y comunitario; y
profundizando en la acción mediadora en el ámbito
educativo, como aspecto básico para el desarrollo de
una real educación intercultural, reflexionando sobre
diferentes factores que favorecen o inhiben la práctica
mediadora.
The last decades have been characterized by important social changes, mainly due to migration and globalization. These changes have not always been positive, causing feelings of rejection and racism against the “other one”. To deal with this situation we need professionals who could help us in rebuilding the social schemes that identify personal relationships: the intercultural mediators. In this article, we highlight the importance of intercultural mediation in different areas - health, community and social ones – and then we focus in the field of education, as main aim of our investigation. This paper finally points out the key elements influencing the development of this practice, clarifying, at the same time, the ones inhibiting it.
