Abstract
This contribution explores the role of education in deconstructing exclusionary narratives and promoting a culture of coexistence and social justice in an era marked by profound inequalities and geopolitical tensions. Through an analysis of European migration policies and the Mediterranean as a symbolic border space, the essay proposes a critical reflection on the pedagogy of resistance, emphasising the urgency of educational practices capable of counteracting hate speech and fostering the recognition of the Other. In this sense, a pedagogy of transition aims at an education that promotes complex thinking, active citizenship and the adoption of decolonial epistemologies beyond the additive intercultural approach. The goal is to transform education in-to a tool for emancipation and social trans-formation, capable of rethinking borders not as barri-ers, but as spaces of relationship and encounter
