Intercultural Times

This electronic journal is edited by partly multicultural students of Gymnasium Steglitz in Berlin. It wants to publish information on the multicultural scenery of this newly developing metropolitan area in Germany, and it also wants to encourage students from other schools of other metropolitan areas in the world, to send us personal experiences as well as more general information on their multicultural scenery for publication.
The editorial board of Intercultural Times, consisting of students and teachers of the grammar school mentioned above, will receive, read carefully the message and, if considered interesting and relevant, promises to publish it here either as Letter to the Editors or as Documentation. The E-mail-address for any letters or documentation from the side of our readers will be as follows: intercul@gymsteg.be.schule.de.
Intercultural Times will consist of five different sections:
  1. Letters to the Editors: Here will be published multicultural and intercultural personal experiences, hopes, fears, problems from students of schools of all metropolitan areas in the world, but also interesting and relevant responses to them by other students in the subsequent issue.

  2. Inquiry: Here our editorial board will ask for information on certain multicultural facts or problems to compare them with facts and problems in our newly arising metropolitan area of Berlin. The answers and our comments will be published under this heading in the subsequent issue.

  3. Documentation: Under this heading reports by groups or individuals will appear on certain aspects of their multicultural scenery. These reports will also be put up for discussion here in a later issue.

  4. Forum: In this section the editorial board will formulate certain theses provoking a direct general discussion among the readers. For this discussion particular access will be provided for.

  5. Philosophy: This is the place for essays of a more theoretical kind in the field of interculturality and the possibility of multiculturalism.

The project is started by a group of teachers and students of Gymnasium Steglitz, a German grammar school which is attended by students from a great variety of different cultures. The intention is, however, to put it completely into the hands of the students and to invite other schools to cooperate with our students in a joint editorial board via INTERNET. The language of communication is exclusively English. Issues are to be expected every quarter of a year. The first issue is planned for January 1st , 1998.
