Parallel Worlds and the Sense of Community in the Educational Space

Abstract

The aim of the article is to show the manifestations of the functioning of parallel worlds and the ways of creating a community in the educational space during classes in multinational and multicultural groups. Understanding a person and the phenomena occurring in the surrounding world means reaching the values that are important for a given group, nation, culture. The community includes solidarity understood as the collective and individual responsibility of a specific group for all joint activities. The sense of community and co-responsibility results from axiological commitment, from the convergence of views and aspirations while being aware of the existence of different points of view. Allowing learners to do what they want to do and really like, in which they feel competent, increases motivation, commitment, responsibility for their own learning process, and also builds a sense of community and dialogue in the educational space.
