Absract. General support for first graders to integrate into the school learning environment is a natural process, determined on one hand by the crisis in the psychosocial development of 7 – 8-year-old children in the transition from play to learning activities, and on the other hand by the new type of responsibilities and
lifestyle in the school community. Collaborative support is an important factor in helping young learners overcome communication and learning challenges, especially in a multicultural classroom. Recognition and analysis of these challenges, the possibilities for overcoming them, is the main objective of this study. The data from
the inquiry cards for pedagogical who studied the multicultural class they worked with outline the parameters of the socio-pedagogical atmosphere in the class. The
applied projective methodologies, a survey and a questionnaire for first graders,
clarify their social attitudes towards school and their attitude towards family. The
data refer to the need to track and individualize formal and informal relationships within the multicultural educational space.
