o dizer canibal de Oswald de Andrade, do seu Manifesto Antropofago de 1928: Antes de os portugueses terem descoberto o Brasil, o Brasil tinha descoberto a felicidade. Devemos aprender a nos educar e a nos salvar juntos com os migrantes e com todas as culturas do mundo, que nos mesmos demos inicio a extincao com a descoberta. Tudo isso nao significa, de nenhum modo, a renuncia a identidade europeia, ou melhor: a fuga da nossa responsabilidade historica. Mas significa o nosso querer decidir a nos re-educar, para chegar a ver e a reconhecer que nos foi oferecida, no seculo XXI uma extraordinaria chance de criar um Mundus Novus tambem na Europa. Pensamos que a Modernidade nunca podera acabar antes que isso aconteca ou sem que isso aconteca. Como quando a Europa se transformou em Europa tendo o que fazer com os Godos da Escandinavia, os magiares das estepes e com os Mouros arabes e africanos.A Transculturacao e uma via para reconhecer e compreender bem (a propos, dizia Montaigne) os fenomenos migratorios e sociais do nosso tempo, e para propor e construir novo estatutos do bem-estar individual e comunitario. Com as praticas da convivencia na sa humanidade e da coevolucao criativa, entendemos fazer pesquisa e experimentar uma revisao da disposicao e da consistencia dos saberes, dos percursos formativos da escola e das praticas comunitarias, da criatividade compartilhada.

It is to be obtained through forms of creative action and healthy interaction among persons of the human race, between genders and generations, between cultures; between humans and non-humans, between the living and the planet inhabited by all of us collectively and the cosmos, we having a role in both. We believe, and not we alone, that Multiculturalism and Interculturality are two word-concepts that require a thorough revision in Western Europe and European Union where we live. While Multiculturalism is going through an evident political crisis, Interculturality, on its part, appear to be a fragile boat caught in the throes of a Mediterranean crisis of significance. We hold that the recent clamorous announcement of a political crisis by the German Prime Minster Angela Merkel represents the latest consequences of the persistent and muddled Eurocentric vision of the unitary politics of Europeans united in the galaxy of stars. As we see it, it is also the result of the missing de-colonization of the European people from themselves, from having been and continuing to be, both colonies and masters. This was a request made to the Europeans by two of the great intellectuals of the twentieth century: one was French and the other from the Martinique Islands: Jean-Paul Sartre and Frantz Fanon.Multiculturalism and interculturality are word-concepts that have been borne down by the missed out but increasingly urgent de-colonization of our minds, still colonial: first, in
