Perhaps one never knows how much a place has taught us until we are back home. I attended the analytic philosophy department, in the Centre for Croatian Studies, with the desire to learn better research methods and new philosophical problems arising from the advances in science and the global processes. And so I did, I learned more that I could have imagined regarding the professionalisation of philosophy and social sciences, as the classes were inter-disciplinary as much as they were international. That cooperation, academic and human, was probably just one of the manifestation of the Croatian culture in general, as I felt the way the city worked involved a deeper synchrony than it could be thought at first.As a Mexican, I felt the differences between our countries, and I wish we understood as much as Croatia how important it is to promote cooperation in every level of society: It is not only being an international country, where there is no discrimination to the place one comes from, or thinking all academic fields can work together, or having each citizen have a great education, or that violence exists only through the media. Perhaps it is the deeper belief that we are all human and alike, that we all deserve to be helped when in need, that there is no language for kindness and that great things can be made if we work together.I went there thinking about the educational and academic aspects, but I came back knowing that, in order to have a good student or a good professor/researcher, we first need to have good people that live in peace with no threats whatsoever. That education is only possible on a humanitarian basis and makes possible being human(itarian). I am thankful to the University of Zagreb and the University of Guadalajara for giving me the opportunity to learn from another way of life, and that a peaceful society is possible.
