Abstract
The goal of this study is to investigate the relations between bullying and sexual, ethnic and homophobic discrimination in the European context, with the aim to update intercultural pedagogy theory. In this context, we are focusing on two areas of particular importance: to understand if the bullying phenomenon may be the product or process that leads directly or indirectly towards the various forms of discrimination. In this case, it is envisaged that this process can lead to what we define as discriminatory bullying and, furthermore, to provide a contribution to the bullying debate, especially regarding the need to diversify the tools in the struggle against this phenomenon.
