Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show the educational role as an element of glocality. Museum-based education is seen as a cultural biography of a region, its document, an institution that is interested in a small homeland and one that talks about the locality. Such an understanding of museums allows me to ascribe a specific function to them – a counteraction to oikophobia, creating an illusion of “homeness”. Hence, the main theory used in this regard, and considered in this paper, is glocalism along with the dominating concept of teaching as multi-cultural teaching.
