Abstract(s)
The globalisation of today's society has forced a rethink of the priorities of the educational plan and their
relationship with universal values and with cultural and heritage values. Some decades later, the words
of Jacques Delors, in his 1996 Report "Education: a treasure to be discovered", are still relevant, when
he underlined the need for world citizens not to lose their roots, to recognise the richness of their
traditions, to achieve a constructive adaptation, to evolve in a process of freedom, respecting difference
and diversity, enhancing the construction of an individual educational project, in an inner, concentrated,
calm and self-critical process. Thus, heritage education, accepted as transversal to the educational
programmes, is assumed as indispensable to consolidate skills enabling a better relationship with the
different cultures and their particular heritage expressions, in an awareness of the increased
responsibility for these legacies, whose safeguarding, protection and preservation are sometimes
threatened and unprotected. This educational model, with an orientation towards the development of a
personality, enhances the integration of the individual in the community, consolidates his/her training and
envisages individual and collective responsibility. The different educational mobility programmes that
exist in higher education participate in this contribution, as one of the privileged responses. And if the
mobility programmes suggest promoting a reflection on a European cultural identity, it is no less
important that this mobility presents itself as a new form of learning and awareness of cultural diversity
and heritage. Based on this premise, we propose to analyse how heritage diversity can be seen as an
effective contribution to the construction of the european identity.
