Globalization as well as social, economic and political processes in the world affect each individual separately and the society on the whole. Due to changes taking place in the contemporary world more and more attention is paid to multiculturalism. School as a model of a multicultural world can promote people’s awareness of what multiculturalism means, what benefits and challenges it brings to people, what knowledge, skills and behaviour are needed for life in a modern multicultural society. Interdisciplinary education is one of the possible ways how the young generation can acquire knowledge and skills necessary for life in the multicultural society of the 21st century to be able to solve the diverse problems, to seek answers to the real-life issues. Thus, the aim of the paper is to analyse the experience of interdisciplinary education in the basic education curricula implemented in the multicultural environment of Latvia.
