This paper aims to reflect on the relation between Multiculturalism and Environmental Education, focusing on the education of environmental educators. The cultural question and some of its implications, along with the need for a comprehensible cultural conception in view of various coexisting lifestyles in different places and regions, are approached within the context of globalisation, which acts upon culture. It is assumed that Education, when brought together with a socioenvironmental perspective, is capable of promoting democratic citizenship and thus should be directed to multicultural purposes, reinforcing interculturality. This perspective requires thinking the education of educators in a complex and dialectical world view, valuing interdisciplinarity and encouraging sociocultural practices for the development of environmental education.
Keywords: Environmental education. Multiculturalism. Education of environmental educators.
