Beyond cultural and emotional diversity, there is an access channel in order to surpass the diversity conflict. It has to do with knowing and recognizing. Recognizing the weight of cultural diversity, we want to prevent against the extreme stance of believing that everything is diverse, that maybe the only point of agreement among the cultures (and the individuals) is that all of them are different to each other. Next to cultural and individual diversity, there are similarities, common anchorage points that bring us close together.

We uphold that the most basic necessity is related to the mutual acceptance, fundamental ingredient of an interrelationship (interindividual or intercultural) based on respect.
