Introduction:

The paper at hand argues that the migration movements towards Europe are not a problem per se, but a chance for cultural development. Based on Wieland’s theory of transculturalism as a continuous learning process, it follows the overarching thesis that migration can be the starting point on the way towards a transcultural society facing less uncertainty due to shared local experiences. In order to get there, however, the paper claims that an enhanced understanding of transculturalism is necessary that goes beyond the current conceptual set-up that can be found in literature. Starting from Welsch’s concept of transculturalism, the subsequent paragraph therefore unfolds an enlightened theoretical framework of transculturalism that readjusts and broadens the current understanding on two dimensions, namely on (i) the dimension of cultural diversity and on (ii) the dimension of a situative cultural learning that allows for a reconstruction of transculturalism as a continuous dynamic discovery procedure.
