8 months of navigation, 30 ports, 200 young people. The ship for peace, ‘Bel Espoir’ set sail in March 2025 from Barcelona (Spain) and will continue its voyage until October. Its route will link five shores of the Mediterranean. On board, eight groups of twenty-five young people of various nationalities, cultures and religions that share a common desire to build a better world. They will live together and get to know each other, amid debates and personal experiences, tackling new issues at each stop. Among them are traveling twenty Living Peace ambassadors and other young people from the Focolare Movement. Bertha from Lebanon shares her experience. She is involved in the MediterraNEW project which works for the education of young people, predominately migrants in the Mediterranean.
Agustin, Patricia and their two children are an Argentinian family. After following a course at Sophia ALC, the Latin-American branch of the university institute that is based in the international little town of Loppiano (Italy), they began to research their roots among the indigenous peoples, and this gave rise to a strong commitment in intercultural dialogue.
The 2025 edition of the traditional youth festival in the Focolare citadel
When I was in secondary school in the year 1990, a group of Focolare movement from Belgium visited my school then at Onitsha South East Nigeria. It was a amazing time then with them evangelizing and yelling us about the movement and Sister Chiara’s story. I was particularly impressed and loved the songs they thought us then. There was also a Focolare song book containing songs like “First a flame”, Let us love everyone, Emmanuel, God is love, etc.
I have tried to browse the Internet to reconnect with these songs, the lyrics or even an e copy of the song book so that I can teach my children.
Pls how can you help me? I need those songs…very unique compositions… Pls help me if you can. Thanks
Please send email to info@focolare.org thanks
