The current concept of education is meant to lead to intercultural tolerance, but somewhat overlooked is the question of the adoption of one's own ethnicity. Nevertheless this is one of the important sources of personal resilience in face of adversity and throughout life in general. Our pilot survey of adolescents in residential care showed significant differences between the real and perceived ethnicity, depending on the ethnicity pertinence. Understanding the reasons for this is a necessary first step of education, that leads to the adoption of own ethnicity.

Keywords: multicultural education, ethnic identification, cultural embedding, personal resilience
