Abstract
In Italy there is a great cultural and religious diversity that is present in our daily interaction, but which we unconsciously ignore; this happens because certain standards of life and behaviour are imposed, while others are rejected, generating racial and religious discussions that fragment society and encourage segregation. One way to address this problem is through education, where the main behavioural imperatives of the future citizen are established. In this context, religious education plays a key role in providing tools for an agonistic dialogue with the other/them. This research proposes a methodological strategy for revaluing the other/them through the development of competencies in religious education. For this purpose, a feedback synthesis was carried out from the curricular bases to the methodological construction. The study is structured in three parts: (1) an enquiry into religious education in Peru and its educational competencies; (2) an analysis of the principles of religious interculturality applied to integral formation; and (3) the design of a methodological strategy for religious education. This process makes it possible to understand the relationships between religions and their interaction with the other/them, to identify common aspects between them and to evaluate the impact of the recognition of the other. In conclusion, the need for a methodological proposal that distinguishes the doctrinal from the formative is evident in order to guarantee pluriculturality in religious diversity and improve coexistence between citizens of different cultures.
