Fondation Pluralismo y Convivencia

The Fundación Convivencia y Pluralismo (Foundation for Pluralism and Coexistence) is a public entity, created by the Council of Ministers on 15 December 2004 following a proposal from the Ministry of Justice.
Its objectives are the following :

– To promote freedom of religion, supporting certain projects by religious groups and denominations who have signed a cooperation agreement with the Spanish State ;
– To provide a space for reflection and debate on religious freedom and its place in the development of an adequate framework for living together ;
– To promote the standardisation of religion in society.

To achieve these objectives, the Foundation is developing its work with three types of partners : with religious denominations, providing support to their representative bodies and their activities, as well as to communities, churches and local entities ; with society in general, as initiator of public debate and as a space for social cohesion and living together ; and with governments, generating policies, ensuring rights are guaranteed, managing various aspects of diversity and plurality throughout the national territory.
