ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a concrete example of how interculturality and the political function within education. The authors argue that an assertion about interculturality is never neutral and is always influenced by our own beliefs, experiences, political thoughts and state apparatuses (amongst others). The example of a Reference Framework produced by a team of European researchers for the Council of Europe (a supranational institution with specific worldviews) allows the authors to evaluate the ‘invisible’ orders given by its authors and the ideologies that go with them. They urge scholars, educators and students to examine critically the political and economic pressure on the production of such frameworks.
