The contemporary multicultural world, characterized by the overlapping of different cultural patterns, value systems and the increasing mobility of cultures, forces the development of new competencies. The innovation extends beyond the ability to learn the standards of another culture we encounter, to understand it more deeply, to adapt to it and avoid conflicts. Today’s human space presence generates a transgressive model of human activity, characterized by the ability to rebuild a systematic and conscious competence, already acquired, thus moving away from the model of adaptive competence in the direction of competence understood processually, where transgressive potential of the subject is recognised.
