The aim of the research was to study: (1) intercultural values (valuing cultural diversity) and attitudes (openness to cultural otherness and to other beliefs, worldviews and practices) of ethnically Georgian students; and (2) the role of formal and informal teaching/learning environment for developing students' intercultural values and attitudes. The research underlined the importance of the role of schools/teachers in promoting intercultural knowledge, attitudes and behaviour among students.
