The article discusses critical cultural literacy as an educational framework and one of the approaches to address multiculturalism in contemporary societies, as well as its implementation in education, research, and civil society in Slovenia. Critical cultural literacy expands the idea of cultural literacy, while cultural literacy recognizes culture as (merely) a set of knowledge, critical cultural literacy understands it as a dynamic and transformative educational process that critically examines existing social hierarchies and inequalities. In Slovenia, this is still a relatively new and underdeveloped concept, but related concepts are emerging highlighting the importance of critically addressing social life in multicultural communities. However, its implementation in practice is a complex, slow, and long-term process, as evidenced by the gap between existing guidelines — which in various ways promote multiculturalism and critical thinking in education— and the everyday practices in schools.
