Working in International and Multicultural Schools

Abstract

The term super-diverse is being used to describe contemporary society. Super-diversity, coined by Steven Vertovec in 2007, was intended to describe the different ethnic groups existing in society in general. Ontologically, this term takes into account the movement of people from one country to another and celebrates the fact that all people are different and unique and can contribute in different ways to society. In the past twenty years, the movement of people in the world increased, and this had led to a situation where we are now speaking more in terms of mobility, rather than in terms of migration when people move from one place to another.
