Abstract

Teachers now work in a global world and need to develop competences in intercultural communication. This can be achieved through information and communication technologies (ICT) to create and enrich their environment, leading to a reassessment of the role of technology in the field of humanitarian knowledge. This article describes the application of a technological model – the wiki encyclopedia – and its possibilities in understanding different cultural identities and the manifestation of tolerance. It enhances the ability for the modern teacher to communicate with people from other cultural communities and successfully carry out intercultural communication. As a result of the research, it is proposed that the Wiki encyclopedia should be included in the curriculum of training pedagogical specialists in higher education institutions.
