Multicultural Education with AI: The Case of “A World at the Table”

Abstract

The ‘A World at the Table’ project describes an interdisciplinary teaching experience conducted in a multicultural lower secondary school class at the IC “Ferrajolo – Siani” in Acerra (NA). Its aim was to promote integration, inclusion, and global citizenship through the collaborative writing of a song. Using digital tools and generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), students from diverse cultural backgrounds (Albania, Belarus, Brazil, Italy, Serbia, Morocco, Ukraine) co-created song lyrics that reflect the value of diversity, inclusion, and intercultural dialogue, inspired by traditional dishes from their home countries.
