For reference: Paradigma Cordoba For Convivence Foundation, located in Torre de la Calaorra in Cordoba, is the successor to the Foundation founded in 1987 by the French thinker Roger Garodi. The Charter stipulates that its main goals are to recall the main role of Cordoba in the mutual enrichment of the cultures of the East (Chinese, Hindu, Arabic and Persian) and the West (Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian) between the VIII and XIII centuries, as well as to show positive examples of the coexistence of three Abrahamic religions: Jewish, Christian and Muslim, which united in al-Andalus. The Foundation aims to promote the exclusively cultural dimension of the city of Cordoba in accordance with the principles and foundations of ecumenism and dialogue, but outside the framework of religions, in a universal way.
