This article intends to approach different ways of understanding the formation of teachers, by the comprehension of multiculturalism - is it a space of diversity? - and inclusion, which has been contemplated in international debates (Unesco, 2001) as a key-concept for human actions, specially the ones related to professional life. A question directs these approaches: Is diversity the constituent element in the necessary reconstruction and rebuilding of the teacher's formative programs? For that, it necessary to consider the main topics chosen here, pointing out: multiculturalism - as a space for interpersonal relations -, alterity (SKLIAR, 2003), and possible articulations with inclusion - almost a slogan in the current educational and social picture.
