Abstract
The paper provides an overview of the theories and principles of intercultural competence, emphasizing its distinction from cultural competence, and deriving its essence from the latter. On the other hand, it discusses the issue of the measurability and development of intercultural competence. Additionally, it deals with the investigation the authors carried out in two schools in Veszprém County within the framework of a project supported by the Thematic Excellence Program at the University of Pannonia. Based on the results of this study, the authors also make a proposal for the development of intercultural competence in schools and universities, emphasizing the importance and possibilities of (digital) literature education in this process.
