Résumé

In a society increasingly susceptible to migratory processes, the role of Education for Culture of Intercultural Peace is also becoming more and more important. Educating in the values of intercultural ethics strengthens the basis of the connection between different cultural identities, fosters and promotes the integration, which responds positively to the desire to maintain both cultural identity of origin and the intercultural contact. However, is integration possible when the subject is suffering an identity crisis? To this question, as well as well as the matters related to the integration difficulty of Belarusian immigrants, residents in Granada, we respond with an empirical study. In the first part of this study we reflect on Education for Culture of Intercultural Peace, integration and construction of positive interaction spaces. The second part is devoted to qualitative, biographical-narrative research. We chose the strategy of "life story". The data collection was conducted through the biographical, semi-structured and in-depth interview. To continue the present study we propose the elaboration of an educational program to strengthen the cultural identity of Belarusian immigrants for subsequent implementation in the activities plan of unregulated education of the Slavs association in Granada. In the final part we offer some comments and suggestions for teachers working with Belarusian immigrant children.
