Sophia University Institute, Loppiano, Italy: Summer School “Mapping the Future”

Jun 11, 2015

A new project, the Sophia Summer School will be held on the main campus of the Institute in Loppiano, Italy addressing the theme: The Future, a Cultural Challenge that Engages the Present.

The Summer School is an opportunity for international scholars and students from multiple disciplines to imagine the future – to recognize the possibilities hidden in the present and to understand the complex conditions required to navigate the possibilities. The Summer School will cultivate the skills and knowledge necessary to responsibly usher in a future of hope – a future charted with a moral compass directed by a commitment to the idea of the inherent value of the human person in the light of a culture that blossoms from the deep roots of relationships. The Summer School will encourage scholars to pursue research that informs paths to a positive future relying on epistemological questions derived by studies in economics, politics, law, theology and other technical and social science disciplines.
