Everywhere in the world the future of societies is interculturality, that is the living together of different cultures, mixing or conflicting each other. In fact, impressive processes of globalization and migration are reshaping the face of many regions in all the continents, and the redefinition of identities and social order is “the problem” of our modernity, concerning individuals, organizations, territories.

This essay intends to bring to the attention of the scientific community the outcome of an international project for the promotion of diversity and inclusive- ness inside European societies and organizations. In this first section we will introduce the case study and the reasons why we consider it so relevant; on the following pages we will explain the goals, the method and the first evidence of our inquiry. Codes is the acronym for ‘Communication, Diversity, Solidarity’.

Cultural diversity is one of the distinctive feature of our world. In consequences of a complex intertwining of some deep social processes (secularization and modernization, global media evolutions, international migrations), our societies have become culturally more heterogeneous and fragmented than in the past. These transformations involve all the spheres and institutions, thus also professional organizations.
