Dealing with the increasing diversity evident in contemporary schools implies the use of tools from the field of social pedagogy, specifically intercultural mediation, to support educational and socio-pedagogical mediation. In this way it will be possible to respond to the growing heterogeneity of contemporary society that is increasingly visible in the school environment, without resorting to uniform and assimilationist attitudes and practices. Many of the complex societal challenges prevalent in today’s world find their reflection within these educational environments which are an integral part of the broader social landscape. Consequently, numerous issues that arise within them, stemming from the substantial increase in the multicultural composition of their student body, extend beyond the conventional roles of teachers. It is therefore vital to consider the school not merely as an exclusive domain for teachers and students, but as a space that can be enriched and intervened upon by social educators, whose expertise lies in socio-cultural and socio-pedagogical dimensions. These professionals cultivate distinctive relationships with students, offering a unique perspective on the diverse realities each individual faces. Moreover, they extend their reach beyond the school, seeking to understand and provide assistance in resolving these issues. These specialized professionals play a crucial role in implementing preventive and mediation efforts, aimed at averting situations that could potentially escalate into serious problems such as bullying or disciplinary issues. Based on an analysis of the literature, the article aims to explore and compare the emergence of social pedagogy and intercultural mediation in contemporary schools in various countries, and particularly in Portugal, as a disciplinary and/or professional strategy for social educators to promote social inclusion, coexistence and networking between schools, families and communities.
