<\/a>With Maria Voce and Jes\u00fas Mor\u00e1n<\/p><\/div> Civil life, global citizenship, ecology, migration and refugees, inter-religious dialogue and Peace Education<\/strong> are only a few of the topics that were addressed during the seminar organized in Castel Gandolfo by the New Humanity NGO; and it included its own representatives from international forums of the United Nations in Paris, Geneva and New York. The New Humanity<\/a> non-governmental organization that represents the Focolare Movement at the UN, has been working for thirty years, presenting theoretical contributions and best practices, to propose and promote a culture of dialogue and processes of peace. During the conference, attendees had an opportunity to compare projects and proposals that this unique observatory is able to bring to the international debate. The active participation by young people <\/strong>in the work brought a lot of liveliness to the discussion; and the proposals concerning the development of many future projects and events that the NGO promotes were very promising. The stages that many of the young people go through at international New Humanity centres leave an indelible mark on their cultural and human growth. They are able to come into contact with current problems that often regard international law, and they attend United Nations reunions and make written contributions to the documents that are proposed concerning a variety of topics. avide Bilardi, adjunct representative at the centre in Geneva, has been working in New Humanity for seven years: Davide Bilardi<\/p><\/div> \u201cI\u2019m part of the work group on Law and International Development\u00a0in Geneva, and I believe that an NGO like this can have an impact within the context of an international organization like the United Nations. Common solutions can be found for the global challenges if, in the meantime, civil society tries more and more to reinforce sensitivity toward these issues that are of interest to the entire planet, and intervenes in the processes with things such as solidarity projects.\u201d Esther Salamanca, <\/strong><\/em>Professor of International Law at the University of Valladolid in Spain, is convinced of it: \u201cI work in Geneva with a group of experts for a declaration on human rights and, in particular, on international solidarity, a document that will soon be presented to the United Nations General Assembly. We work with other associations, experts and NGOs in an atmosphere of fraternity and collaboration.\u201d Marco Desalvo, President and Cecilia Landucci, Vice president<\/p><\/div> The NGO\u2019s president, Marco Desalvo, <\/strong>suggested that New Humanity\u2019s presence at the UN is to represent the Focolare Movement and to be an often quite unknown channel, but one that is very active in producing pathways of peace. One recalls last year\u2019s \u201cReinvent Peace\u201d<\/a> event that was held at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris and promoted by New Humanity. Leaders of the world and of culture, together with people that are working each and every day for peace, testified to how it is always the result of courageous shared decisions that are kept. There was an important moment of discussion <\/strong>during the meeting with Maria Voce<\/a> and Jes\u00fas Mor\u00e1n,<\/a> president and co-president of the Focolare Movement. They encouraged everyone involved in New Humanity, highlighting how their efforts contribute to bringing forward a network which brings together the opportunities that present themselves and the diverse projects that the Focolare promotes at various levels, including reflection and cultural elaboration. This is a project we want to strengthen so that it can contribute to a more united world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" April 1 \u2013 4, 2017.
