Abstract The need to foster an “intercultural stance” beginning at the ECE level is a core theme in the current debate on how to support education practitioners working in multicultural settings. Changing one’s outlook, decentring, attempting to see educational phenomena from different angles, developing alternative perspectives are required skills for quality educational work in complex and multicultural educational contexts. How can we help ECEC educators to develop an educational culture that is open to intercultural dialogue and views cultural displacement as an opportunity for learning and exercising critical-reflexive thinking? Based on data from a professional development research project with groups of educators in Italy and the United States, this article discusses how video-mediated processes of intercultural dialogue, debate and exchange can help to foster the development of an appropriate educational stance (and not just educational tools) for multicultural settings.
