. French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu (1984) defined the term "cultural capital". This term denotes the stock of our cultural knowledge, and this phenomenon is also mapped into the domains of interculturality. Thus, in postmodernity, intercultural capital is increasingly talked about, which entails first acquiring intercultural knowledge and then its practice at different levels, with particular emphasis on the role of education in the process of acquiring it. This type of education entails understanding, adopting and nurturing intercultural phenomena such as intercultural communication, competences, intercultural dialogue, sensibility, etc. All of the above play a very important role in the global world we live in, directly reflecting on all its aspects, including the economic and business stability of the world.
