On the occasion of the delivery of the Convivence Award in his 3 edition, the journalists Pablo Muñoz ( ABC ), Juan Carlos Serrano ( La Razón ), José Bejarano ( La Vanguardia ), Manuel Prados ( Canal Sur ), Juan José Téllez, ( Diario de Sevilla ), Carlos Telmo ( Radio España ), Carmen Echarri ( El Faro de ceuta ), Higinio Molina ( RTV Ceuta ) and Juan Teba (Canal Sur Radio ), after debating about cohabitation and the paper of the midways of communication in the transmission of this, they emitted the following document of commitment:

1. The human being, by definition, has a right to select freely his place of residence 2. Globalization, presented like predominance of the laws of the market, should not bear a people's limitation of the freedom of movement. Frontiers must be the surpassed progressively.       3. The mestization and multi-culture must be seen like positive, enriching and inevitable elements and must promote them over part of public powers through active and no excluding policies.  4. Coexistence is a respectable model of the difference and it supposes the acceptance of the moral values of the other. Include also that minorities and majorities share obligations and rights.   5. The dehumanization of our advanced societies risks to any model of cohabitation. 6. The knowledge of another culture is the coexistence's cornerstone.  The educational system must incorporate the traditions of another culture. It is necessary than at the schools of frontier cities get introduced different existent languages at the region, so that the educational model respond to the expectations of the different communities that coexist in that society. The education for coexistence must exceed of the ambit of the school and permeating to the world of communication, the culture, institutions and the family.  7. The laws must favour the mutual knowledge, without exclusion, of all the present communities in the society and pursuing all hostile conduct to the rights of the fews. 8. Shocks among cultures are generates, principally, as a consequence of marginalization and the poverty than suffer the fringe areas of a city, of a territory or of the society in aggregate. Progressing in coexistence implies the improvement of living conditions of those people. 9. We advocated emphasizing the basic rights (education, housing and health) that avoid the social deterioration as a consequence of the marginalization of the immigrants and the receiving population. Administrations should have priority to the investments in that space. 10. Coexistence is a building that it is necessary to lift up day by day by part of institutions, the civil society and persons. It's a quotidian effort that drives us away of savagery.
