Interculturality, Social Media and Vocabulary Game

Interculturality

"Interculturality refers to the existence and equitable interaction of diverse cultures and the possibility of generating shared cultural expressions through dialogue and mutual respect" (Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, 2007).

Human beings are constantly in touch with other languages. Throughout their life, a person will acquire words that enrich them when integrating all kinds of cultural manifestations. Currently, social media represents a source of knowledge, a diverse mosaic of cultural and artistic manifestations that facilitates users' access to art, traditions, garments, and so on.
