The presence of unaccompanied minor migrants in our communities and the consequent mutual impact with the foster society is a phenomenon of great educational relevance. An imaginary is configured around these young people, on which a good part of the islamophobic, xenophobic and racist discourses, present in our media and in the political arguments of the most radical parties of the state, are argued. In this context, the present article addresses the issue of adolescents' perceptions of young people who migrate alone and the development of intercultural competencies for interreligious dialogue. For this purpose, a survey study was carried out with the participation of 942 students from 9th and 10th grade compulsory secondary education in high schools in the city of Barcelona. In general terms, results show that participants are at a stage of acceptance of religious diversity. On the other hand, young people tend to engage in conflict situations with people who are different from them, using strategies typical of their coping style in relation to others. Finally, it is observed that students hold attitudes that moderately overcome prejudices towards young people who migrate alone. Findings reveal the importance of educational institutions and, specifically, secondary schools, working to build a culture of peace and a more inclusive society.
