Local communities, interculturalism and the potential of mediation
The Intercultural Community Intervention Project, launched by Fundación Obra Social La Caixa in 2010 and currently implemented in 39 Spanish regions, has become a model of good practice in the area of mediation and diversity management. Carlos Giménez Romero, the project's scientific director and a social anthropology professor at Madrid's Universidad Autónoma, will share the lessons learned on 3 March at 5 pm, in the conference entitled "Local communities, interculturalism and the potential of mediation: The experience of a cohesion-building project in high-diversity areas". The activity will be open to the public in the auditorium of the Gregori Maians Social Sciences Library at the University of Valencia (Tarongers Campus).
