The Intercultural city aims at building its policies and identity on the explicit acknowledgement that diversity can be a resource for the development of the society.

The first step is the adoption (and implementation) of strategies that facilitate positive intercultural encounters and exchanges, and promote equal and active participation of residents and communities in the development of the city, thus responding to the needs of a diverse population. The Intercultural integration policy model is based on extensive research evidence, on a range of international legal instruments, and on the collective input of the cities member of the Intercultural Cities programme that share their good practice examples on how to better manage diversity, address possible conflicts, and benefit from the diversity advantage.

This section offers examples of intercultural approaches that facilitate the development and implementation of intercultural strategies.

The group of interfaith dialogue promotes spirituality through knowledge and understanding of different beliefs and religious or spiritual developments with a learning attitude. The project recognises and values religious diversity.

The interfaith dialogue group was born in 2017 as a result of a longer process. In 2011, the El Fraile Citizen Participation Group (Tenerife, Spain) had a dream of becoming a positive reference neighbourhood for diversity management. The group wanted spirituality, religion, beliefs, and convictions, to contribute to the improvement of the coexistence and to show the value of diversity. With this objective, the 'Interreligious prayer for peace, respect and coexistence' was born in 2013. This project evolved and became the interfaith dialogue group, which consists of persons representing different religious and spiritual communities.

The Interreligious Dialogue Group evaluates each edition of the interreligious prayer in a participatory manner. The evaluation allows to introduce improvements and proposals every year.

The project has received help from Juntos En la misma dirección (Cabildo de Tenerife).
