The Intercultural citizenship test is a learning tool designed to support individuals and groups to reflect on what it means to be an intercultural citizen. The Test triggers thoughts and discussion about our own attitudes, behaviours and knowledge.

The Intercultural citizenship test includes 18 questions and can be completed individually online or face to face in groups, at for example schools, universities, workplaces and many more. For groups there is a printable version of the Test available, accompanied by a facilitator guide which offers further guidance on the topics and ideas for discussion.

 What is intercultural citizenship?

In today's diverse societies, citizenship is about how we engage across cultural differences in our communities and public spaces. Intercultural citizenship requires understanding that diversity and positive interaction between different cultures can be an advantage. It moves beyond simply accepting different cultures and celebrates both the differences and similarities between them as something that can make communities stronger. This of course does not mean that it is only about praising new or stranger cultures, but also about honouring traditional and local sides of culture, and valuing the relationship between these. It is about understanding the many aspects that make up a community such - as but not limited to- nationality, ethnic origin, language, gender identity and sexual orientation and religious beliefs.

In the end intercultural citizenship is about the way we relate to each other on a day-to-day basis to work, learn, and have fun. Most importantly, it is about how we actively change or maintain our communities taking into account the different points of view we have. There is an aspect of rights, duties, and behaviours that we as both human beings and citizens owe to each other.
