Summary/Abstract: Starting from the actual situation of the world today, the article analyzes a new religious culture characterized by multi-religiosity and inter-religiosity. The approach to this new phenomenon is however interreligious, in which metaphorically, every religion assumes the “colours of all cultures”. In this reality, the transition from the religion of Italians to Italy of religions in Catholic schools creates educational challenges in the face of interreligious dialogue. Therefore, the identity and mission of these schools, involved in socio-educational changes, caused by religious pluralism, must be re-examined. The school has the task of educating to overcome all barriers among persons, encouraging pupils towards an experience of a universal solidarity, starting from the neighbours that integrates the interreligious phenomenon.
