"This tradition argues that education is not just about the passive assimilation of facts and cultural traditions, but about challenging the mind to become active, competent, and thoughtfully critical in a complex world."
Interculturalism is a cultural ideology that holds that while different cultures should be able to co-exist, they should also engage in cross-cultural dialogue, interactions, and cultural fusion with one another. The government should promote common values and ideas between different cultures to hold them together and create a common but diverse identity. Another way to see it is akin to a milder form of "cultural-assimilation" or "globalization", where people of various backgrounds focused less on their cultural backgrounds and more on how their value can help the community's well-being as a whole. However, this varies much as Interculturalism represents a broad umbrella of different movements based on cultural unity, with some motivated more by nationalism/patriotism while others see it as a way of implementing more cosmopolitan ideas.
Despite the similarities with 
Multiculturalism, Interculturalism rejects the former's identity politics. Additionally, Interculturalism criticizes the way many multicultural societies have a tendency towards self-segregation, division, and lack of communal identity and cohesion instead of proper integration.
Variants
Civic-Cultural Nationalism
Civic-Cultural Nationalism is a form of cultural nationalism that shows none of the ethnocentrism that's often associated with cultural nationalism and monoculturalism. Although civic cultural nationalism varies, it usually supports immigration so long as it's legal, but will allow for multiple different cultures in society to exist so long as they engage in cross-communication dialogue with each other.
Polyculturalism
Polyculturalism is an ideological approach to the consequences of intercultural engagements within a geographical area which emphasises similarities between, and the enduring interconnectedness of, groups which self-identify as distinct, thus blurring the boundaries which may be perceived by members of those groups. As such, it opposes assimilationist/monocultural ideas, but also opposes traditional multiculturalism, which it sees as focusing too much on pointless identity politics and needlessly dividing people.
Civic-Cultural Patriotism
W.I.P
Civic-Cultural Ultranationalism
Civic-Cultural Ultranationalism is an extreme form of Civic-Cultural Nationalism that is most often found in 
fascist circles. It seeks to unify the nation as much as possible by supporting 
progressive positions on race. This ideology also sees itself as the perfect vehicle for 
world conquest 
. If there is no racial discrimination within the empire, conquered peoples will not see much need to rebel.

Frenemies
Multiculturalism - You have some good ideas, but you're too focused on pointless identity politics and putting people against each other for you to really work. We need to actually unite people, not divide them.
Ethnocracy - While cultural unity is good, you need to take into account all peoples, not just those in power. Also apartheid was pretty horrible.
Progressivism - I don't hate you, just wish you'd tone it down with all the idpol/culture war stuff, especially in regards to groups of people who aren't even ethnicities.
World Federalism - I like that you want to unite all people, but focusing on the whole world is too broad and vague as to work, a nation is better to unite many peoples into one.
