The difficulties that Europe’s democracy is going through was the topic suggested for a training seminar on politics held on the 13th of January for the youth of Cagliari in Sardegna, Italy. The context was indeed a difficult one. In Sardegna social tensions have been increasing.\u00a0 Despite the fact that disillusionment, disorientation and uncertainty about the future appears to be widespread among the youth, this event once again attracted many participants.<\/p>\n
What does universal brotherhood have to say to Political Science and to modern democracy and all its paradoxes?<\/p>\n
This was the main point of keynote speaker Daniela Ropelato, Professor of Political Sciences at the University Institute Sophia located in Loppiano (near Florency, Italy). She shared with the audience the main ideas of a reflection that involves politicians and scholars, citizens and government officers, who have found in the charism of unity the cornerstone for their public commitment.<\/p>\n
The school on politics in Cagliari is not an isolated experience: it is one out of ten such schools born recently in Italy. They are part of the international network of the Schools of the Movement for Unity. \u201cLearning communities\u201d, as they are called in Argentina,\u00a0 are for those young people who do not wish to yield to current trends in politics but who have decided to practice a \u201cpolitics of communion\u201d.<\/p>\n
The young people from Sardegna attending were the main protagonists of the event: their example is a concrete answer to the need for unity.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn extra drive to become more active, also in our small way,\u201d said one of the participants, \u201cto become citizens who are aware of the contribution we all can give\u201d. \u201cWe can do politics at home, in a waiting rooms, in a shop, in a square, by giving our opinion and witnessing with our life\u201d.<\/p>\n
Their School has being named after \u201cDomenico Mangano\u201d. He had moved to Viterbo from Sardegna. He was convinced that the light and logic of the Gospel had to lead our actions in politics. He was a justice builder and developer who was at every bodies service. He had many high administrative responsibilities in the city of Viterbo. He witnessed that a positive relationship among generations may be the key to the so needed innovation the public sphere needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
