Abstract	Jolanta Drzewiecka'sinvited opinion paper lays the ground for this special issue. In it, the author reflects on the current issues and trends in critical intercultural communication and draws on her personal experiences of living in different continents. Drzewiecka argues for focusing on related concepts in addressing interculturality in the classrooms, namely diversity, 'race', and decoloniality. She urges readers to focus on differences within national contexts, which helps to deconstruct the connection between nation and culture and also bring power relations to the forefront. Moreover, Drzewiecka stipulates that more attention should be placed on 'race' and how it can work as a technology of power and exclusion. She promotes the argument that students should be equipped with skills to critically examine the manifestations of 'race'in every layer of society. Finally, Drzewiecka calls for greater attention to the colonial history of Europe in order to develop historical awareness of how the colonial past is mirrored in the present day. In the paper, Drzewiecka elaborates on the above focal points and suggests that they can provide a map for designing a progressive critical intercultural communication curriculum. (HoF/text adopted).
