The demands of the Logse take us more and more day to be sensitized before a world that leaves our more immediate borders. On the other hand, when we talk about "diversity", we have to take into account that very close to us there are people, neighborhoods, groups with many needs that many times go unnoticed by the lack of just sensitivity. At the educational level, our objectives and contents must be marked by a sense of plurality, respect for other cultures, involvement in the projects and needs of those who are beyond our space, and even those who are very close Of us suffer the consequences of serious problems in terms of work, social, cultural ... The spirit of the LOGSE on these cross-cutting concrete issues is very explicit.
