diversidad de lo común
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Education / Pedagogy
This text is part of a book on a conference held by Ibero-American universities on to establish their role, purpose and future plans. I can't quite make out what they mean here by "lo común". Any thoughts?
"[la voluntad las universidades] de intensificar las relaciones universitarias, impulsar la concepción de las universidades como lugar de encuentro que articulen en redes la riqueza de la **diversidad de lo común** y la de difundir ante los gobiernos, las Cumbres Iberoamericanas, las instituciones y la sociedad, la conciencia creciente de la necesidad de disponer de una Iberoamérica vertebrada en torno al conocimiento."
Thanks!

I think it's more or less in line with the "unity in diversity" concept. (I'd still query to be sure.)

diversity
I would leave out "de lo común" - it means from the commonplace - and say something like "create networks expressing [or perhaps even celebrating] the richness of diversity."

community diversity
The community or general population, ie those who have access to higher education, ostensibly anyone, so "community diversity", or "diversity of the populace" are good options.

It is important to see how these people are able to assert their differences, but at the same time celebrate **their shared diversity**with respect.
I hope this helps!
