Humanism as a universal cross-cultural value. A humanistic attitude is based on the recognition of essential human needs, such as individual freedom, happiness and continuous creative evolution or destructive involution, which cannot be ignored as it is one of the basic human instincts. The aspiration to penetrate into the depths of the human world gradually forms the humanitarian paradigm, which has been known from the Socrates time in the West, and which developed, mainly, in the Renaissance period. An individual human being with his/her own inner multidimensional psychic space and unique cognitive process are the main values and focus in the context of cross-cultural humanitarianism. This is important for international pedagogics as science and practice, because a humane attitude to reality arises in its depths, as well as other basic processes of humanitarian education. The basic qualities of intercultural education are equality, dialogic foundation, unconditional perception, reasonable trust and open unbiased consciousness. The main purpose of such education is the development of an individual as a transcultural human being with a positive, friendly attitude to the world. With regard to higher educational institutions, the cross-cultural processes are conditioned by the creation of a free learning environment in order to discover, open up and develop the essential learning qualities of students with respect to individual inclinations and diverse multitude of the social, institutional and cultural contexts. In other words, this would mean a creation of all necessary conditions for an ongoing self-cognition through impartial and spontaneous resonance with the surrounding diverse world in all its unpredictable cross-cultural manifestations. For a teacher by vocation, the transcultural individual development would mean a spiritual process of the collective impersonal self-cognition in the ever-becoming existence adorned with individual mind-streams of various consciousnesses having various degrees of awareness. In the modern educational dimension of the impermanent ever-globalizing world, these cross-cultural phenomena require sincere involvement, understanding and creative over-rational interaction. Therefore, the humanitarian paradigm is based on interactive research technologies, which use the languages of natural human communication. A cross-cultural interactive educational space is a basis for a humanitarian interaction of various conscious and unconscious elements of students’ and teachers’ individual psychics. This process of educational interaction generates alternative creative visions of the world and develops the ability to resonate with others on deeper and broader levels of a multidimensional educational space, which gives rise to unbiased attitude and deep faith in universal human values. Humanitarian educational technologies are cross-cultural by nature and they should be aimed at harmonization of one’s inner and outer worlds by discovering and acquiring pure living knowledge. This knowledge should become personal and, subsequently, lead to a harmonization of relations of an individual with other living beings and forms of life.
