The Interreligious Space of the Migra Studium Foundation and the Christianity and Justice studies center in Barcelona jointly organized the "Diversity and transcendent, paths of coexistence", in March, to reflect on how the spiritual and religious experience can be revealed as a space of coexistence in a society threatened by all kinds of fundamentalism and polarization.

The two central papers were given by Josep Otón, doctor in history and professor at ISCREB, and Marta Burguet, doctor in Pedagogy and professor at the University of Barcelona. Otón reflected on how the religious universe is being reconfigured from the three basic elements of interiority, spirituality and religion; and claimed the need to recover the balance between the three to liberate them precisely the dangers that entails a narcissistic interiority, an evasive spiritualism or a totalitarian religion. Paradoxically, and contrary to what is often believed, religious pluralism, which is sometimes a source of conflict, can play, at the present time, the role of an antidote against fundamentalist approaches.

The pedagogue Marta Burguet, meanwhile, also opted for the need for a pedagogy of coexistence and interiority, which allows individuals an interrelation based on trust and universal shared values. The day closed with a dialog about experiences that build coexistence.
