This is why we chose the title, \u201cLet\u2019s bridge<\/strong>,\u201d <\/em>recounts 23 year old, Philippino,  Ark Tabin. The construction of a bridge is to be used as a metaphor for the construction of authentic relationships which is the main theme of the program that will take place in the Sport Arena of Budapest (with a seating capacity of 12,500) and on the bridges that cross the Danube River, from 31 August to 2 September 2012.  Orgainizing the event is already an experience of unity which is based on the constant effort to welcome and listen to the other. This leads to true dialogue and deep relationships. A new phase of this experience will unfold this 11 and 12 February with seventy youths who will gather in Sassone, Italy to prepare the 10th edition of the program.  <img alt=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-54375\" style=\"margin-left: 10px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120204-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" \/>\u201cAlthough we\u2019ve been awaiting them for a long time, we also feel that this shouldn\u2019t be just another event, even if it\u2019s a great event, but that it should mark another step on a journey, a point of arrival and a point of departure in the building of a United World. There is a need for this testimony of unity nowadays. We can\u2019t turn back,\u201d recalls 23 year old Brazilian, Thyrseane Tupinamba who is on the central organizing comittee of the Genfest, together with other youths and adults from a variety of countries \u2013 the United States, Hungnray, Argentina, italy, Brazil. . .
