What is Fear of the Different

Transformative Intercultural Global Education
In terms of interculturally, rejection of the different is an attitude of aversion towards those people with values or customs perceived as different from their own, within a multicultural environment. It manifests itself from stereotypes and prejudices to direct discrimination. This fear of difference is due to a lack of information, understanding, lack of contact with cultural diversity or stereotypical narratives.

Abstract
Education in a child's early years is vital to establishing the basis of his personality. In an increasingly individualized world, where people are less concerned about the problems of others and the spaces of freedom are often not respected, it is important to reinforce the work of empathy from childhood. Freedom is a word that is losing its true essence, its meaning has been distorted by its semantic satiety. This word is taken by society as a right, but the obligation is forgotten, which implies respecting the rights of others. The project carried out from the subject of plastic and visual education in the third year of the degree in primary education aims to work from the essence of the human being, from the condition that makes us differentiate ourselves from the rest of the animals. Thinking globally without observing differences should be the main goal of humanity. This should start in schools, the first contact with diversity.
