Authors from Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Netherland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and the USA provide us with a variety of thought-provoking reflections to contribute to the debate on diversity and help guide educational practices, both in formal and non-formal contexts, like school or social education.
