EcoOne – Ecology School for Young People

Mar 29, 2017

The International EcoOne cultural initiative invites you to an ecological school to be held 2 to 4 May 2017 at Loppiano (FI) Italy.

Ecology SchoolThe Earth, our common home, is protesting. It seems to be turning more and more into a huge garbage dump. Its temperature is dramatically increasing and the depletion of natural resources makes it impossible to sustain the current level of consumption by the richest countries. Bio-diversity disappears and the quality of human life deteriorates. What is happening calls for an urgent need to undergo a bold cultural revolution. No one wants to regress to the neanderthal era, but it is essential to change direction and to work out a new model of development. The International EcoOne cultural initiative invites you to an ecological school to be held 2-4 May 2017 in Loppiano, Italy. It is aimed at young people, but open to all those who wish to look with new eyes at the relationship between human beings and nature.

What is the point of war?

What is the point of war?

At this time when the world is torn apart by brutal conflicts, we share an excerpt from the famous book written by Igino Giordani in 1953 and republished in 2003: The uselessness of war. “If you want peace, prepare peace”: the political teaching that Giordani offers us in this volume can be summarized in this aphorism. Peace is the result of a plan: a plan of fraternity between peoples, of solidarity with the weakest, of mutual respect. Thus a more just world is built, this is how war is set aside as a barbaric practice belonging to the dark phase of the history of mankind.
