ABSTRACT
Learning and teaching in multicultural classes is a very current pedagogic issue. It is also a social and cultural subject which greatly influences everyday life. Intercultural learning concerns all Europeans, regardless of age, gender or profession; this subject has importance to all. The relevance of intercultural learning is linked to the basic assumption of transactional analysis. In transactional analysis pedagogy there are many elements that are essential for ensuring that learning and living together in the school succeed. Students practise learning strategies and different ways of working. Students experience, learn confrontation culture, gain insight into interviewing and conflict training. They have an opportunity to share their culture of origin and their characteristics in the classroom, and experience appreciation. From the beginning, children learn strategies and behaviour to act in an autonomous way in the here-and-now context of the classroom.
