A framework of reference for pluralistic approaches

Table of competences

This is to present the entirety of what we think of as general competences and whose development seems particularly encouraged by the implementation of pluralistic approaches. 

It should be emphasized that this is not an exclusive relationship: those same competences - in some of their aspects - can also be developed by other approaches. While conversely pluralistic approaches can also contribute to the development of general competences, they most likey contribute in a less decisive way.
  

Competences which activate knowledge, skills and attitudes through reflection and action 
-  valid for all languages and cultures; 
- concerning the relationships between languages and between cultures.
