Be the Bridge – Replay streaming event

May 1, 2013

Through live linkups with Jerusalem, Budapest, Mumbai and Loppiano, Youth for a United World around the globe conclude the Genfest year by focusing on the 2013 World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro.

Replay streaming event (in English, Italian, Arabic, Spanish, French, Portughese)

On May 1 there will be a flashmob and  a march for  peace in Jerusalem. Thousands of youth  from all over the world will participate in the concluding program through direct streaming. Direct link-ups with Loppiano (FI), Mumbai and Budapest are planned as part of this program. United World Week, the annual event organised  by the youth of the Focolare Movement since 1996 will start from here.  This is the tip of the iceberg of a commitment to promote unity and peace at all levels. So, “let us be ready” in line with the United World Project, launched  precisely at Genfest 2012. This broad commitment wants to be an answer to Pope Francis’ appeal to youth: “Do not let yourselves be robbed of hope” and it is a step towards World Youth Day 2013 atRio de Janeiro.

Together with her husband, Nicola, she made an enormous and invaluable contribution to fostering dialogue within the Focolare Movement, especially with, and among, people of non-religious convictions, through her dedication, generosity, and intelligence.
