Abstract

The article analyzes the experiences of Lithuanian and Swedish preschool teachers in multicultural education in educating preschool children. The content, methods and tools of multicultural education of preschool children are revealed. Used research methods: analysis of scientific literature and documents, comparative analysis, qualitative research, semi-structured interviews, and qualitative content analysis. The following aspects of multicultural education emerged: preschool teachers in both countries believe that multicultural education enriches children,
fosters tolerance, respect and understanding of other cultures, contributes to identity development, and should begin in early childhood. Swedish respondents emphasise that a multicultural education prepares children for life in a multicultural society. Respondents from both countries stress the role of the preschool teacher’s example in developing children’s multicultural competence. Both countries use similar tools for multicultural education, including interactive tools and programmes, smart technologies and traditional visual aids.
