Two perspectives on togetherness: Implications for multicultural education

This paper is an attempt to define the concept of togetherness from two different angles. Initially, it focuses on how togetherness can be seen in relation to students paticipation. A central argument is that more focus on togetherness in school can be of great importance for the motivation. Secondly, the article states that we develope our identity, cultural and society through togetherness. The ability to develope society depends on human participation and involvement within communities. Togetherness is therefore not only to be seen as a means, but also as an aim for the school curriculum.
