| Summary: | While defining “spiritual solidarity” and its importance for students in a context of growing extremism, this article explores the impact of using a new teaching tactic: “Human Books.” The pedagogical purpose of “Human Books” is to propose an interactive learning experience joining formation and information, where students learn through personal dialogue with people who have overcome challenges while impacting their community. This approach achieves a stronger student engagement not only at the rational level but also at a deeper emotional and spiritual level. It helps students to overcome their misconceptions and perceive spirituality as a platform of “interconnectedness.” This process recognizes the richness and authenticity of each person's spiritual and theological experience. It provides a unique bridge to discover commonalities and spiritual solidarity through dialogue. |
