Abstract

Developing intercultural communication skills enables us to successfully confront the challenge of coexistence and social cohesion. Vilà-Baños (2008) also states that formal education is not solely responsible for the development of these competencies. Bearing this in mind, we have created a series of practical workshops, using our ample experience, with the aim of helping a select group of people. The general objective was to transmit the existence of fundamental values that form the basis of the major religions and that are also found in secular thinking in current society. The implementation was performed in two phases, one in 2010 with a sample of 97 study subjects, and the other in 2015 which counted with 173 participants.
