Youth for a United World Meeting

Mar 28, 2011

Make visible change: April 28 to May 1st: 3 days of dialogue, workshops, exchange of perspectives, expo of activities and forums; a visit to Rome and an opportunity to be present at the beatification of John Paul II.

The annual meeting of the Youth for a United World (Y4UW) is eagerly awaited. Some days ago, a group of Y4UW met in Loppiano, International Movement Little City, near Florence, to prepare the program jointly.

It is a process that began in December 2010, and has been carried on with the Y4UW of various parts of the world via email or messages on social networks in a lively exchange of proposals so that this meeting would be the result of a communion of life and of different views.

Make visible change: after having explored “many ways for a United World” discussed last year, this time the main topic will unfold in three central themes: “today’s protagonists of a culture of brotherhood and peace,” “looking for authentic relationships,” “building bridges …”.

On April 29, the 14th edition of the “United World Week” will be open with a live video streaming (via Internet) where in the Genfest 2012 will be launched together with a range of initiatives to concretize daily the youth’s commitment for brotherhood. An inflamed message of Chiara Lubich will unite in one heart young people from all latitudes.

The Meeting will end on May 1st with the participation of the Youth for a United World in the beatification of John Paul II.
