Abstract
In recent months, the health crisis has brought about suspicion of others. Not only does it create major problems for social coexistence, but also for human flourishing. The growth of individualism makes it difficult for people to recognise their relational dimension. This phenomenon especially affects young people, since during their youth they must face the challenge of building their identity. With the aim of offering educational keys to help young people face this challenge in the current context, an exploratory content analysis of different texts of Popes John Paul II and Francis has been carried out. For this purpose, through an initial statistical analysis of the texts and then a thematic analysis based on grounded theory, four major educational keys have been found in the thought of both Popes.
