Brief description of each course:
1st. Seminar: By means of a methodology with historical, philosophical and phenomenological emphasis and research, we wish to explore the specific challenges that our communities face in a globalised world. We will explore the origin, durability and topicality of beliefs, religions and cults with a focus on Asian studies, with special attention to Islam, India, China and Japan.
2nd. Seminar: This course proposes to study how the main institutions or cooperation agencies of religious traditions work, which are the largest investors. This search for a coordination between beliefs, values and investment policy is known as Faith Consistent Investing
3rd. Seminar: This course proposes to study the history of ecumenical, interreligious and intercultural dialogue. It is intended to highlight its repercussions in the region and analyse and evaluate the effectiveness of this permanent instrument in the current context.
