Abstract
The article addresses the issues of the acquisition of intercultural competence by teachers in a dynamically changing multicultural context. The acquisition of multicultural competence is understood as a creative effort of each teacher in the process of self-development and, consequently, in the process of shaping a culture of peace, which is directly related to the quality of intercultural education, education for peace. The authors present the competences and challenges governing intercultural education in a multicultural context, analysing the ideas and attitudes stemming from the spirit of tolerance and the values attributed to the dialogue conducted both in the domestic and foreign spheres. Such an attitude allows for the acquisition of so-called multicultural competence and the rejection of stigmatisation, xenophobia or extremist attitudes.
