Este estudo analisa a perceção dos alunos do ensino secundário sobre a diversidade cultural em cinco países europeus: Itália, Bulgária, Alemanha, Grécia e Espanha. Recorrendo a uma abordagem de investigação quantitativa, o estudo consistiu na realização de um inquérito destinado a avaliar as atitudes dos alunos em relação à diversidade cultural e ao pensamento crítico. No total, participaram no estudo 352 estudantes. Os resultados revelam uma disposição geralmente positiva em relação à diversidade cultural, com os alunos a demonstrarem empatia e apoio a indivíduos marginalizados, bem como a pessoas culturalmente diversas no seio familiar. No entanto, as respostas a questões mais complexas e controversas, como as práticas religiosas e a identidade de género, foram mistas, indicando a necessidade de intervenções de aprendizagem intercultural mais estruturadas. O estudo salienta a importância do desenvolvimento de competências interculturais e da formação em pensamento crítico nas escolas, de modo a preparar melhor os alunos para a vida numa sociedade intercultural. Estes resultados serviram de base ao desenvolvimento da Abordagem Maiêutica Recíproca (AMR) no âmbito do projeto Erasmus+ REACT, que visa melhorar o pensamento crítico e as práticas de educação inclusiva.
