On 16 April, the Sophia University Institute welcomed the fifth edition of the Wings of Unity dialogue and collaboration project, which involves teachers and experts from the Christian and Muslim community.The promoters of this project, in addition to Sophia University, are the Islamic Centre of England (London) and the Risalat International Institute (Qum). Through the initiative, co-directed by Piero Coda and Mohammad Shomali, several innovative ideas have been developed in the context of interreligious dialogue through seminars, public conferences, summer schools and publications. The day of study took place in the broader context from 15 to 18 April, in Loppiano, where Sophia University Institute is located. During these days the group of Muslim friends had the opportunity to discover more in depth the roots of the original multi-cultural co-existence born from the charism of Chiara Lubich. https://vimeo.com/265783668
