Sažetak
The paper will present results of the research conducted in the framework of the courses Cultural Identity of Croatia and European Identity at the Interdisciplinary Study Programme of Culture and Tourism, University of Pula, Croatia. Using a qualitative methodology, we interviewed 250 Croatian citizens and explored their attitudes toward the key elements of cultural identity and cultural diversity in the wider context of European integration. We examined their attitudes toward the key values of European identity, as well as the impact of globalization on national identity and economy. We analyzed existing models of multiculturalism and interculturalism, the possibilities of improvement of intercultural communication in the local communities and international cooperation in the wider region. We also explored the most effective models of communicating European citizenship and cosmopolitanism, such as the European Capital of Culture. One of the main goals of our research was to train students for critical reflection of the key values of cultural identity, cultural diversity, intercultural communication and European cultural cooperation.
