Programma

The workshop "Communicating Peace" aims to provide students with knowledge and skills related to the culture and promotion of peace through historical perspective, reconstructing the path that from the early twentieth century to the present has allowed the development in Europe and the world of a thought of peace. Alongside secular thought, which had among its major exponents at the beginning of the century Bertrand Russel and which in Italy developed fully after World War II, with Aldo Capitini and others, the workshop will describe the path taken by religions to affirm the rejection of war and the need to work together for peace. From Benedict XV's famous statements on World War I as "useless slaughter," to the condemnations of subsequent wars by the popes, to the interreligious meetings for peace promoted by John Paul II and the renewed relationship with Islam promoted by Francis on the theme of human brotherhood.
The educational objectives of the workshop are fully consistent with the educational offerings and enrich it with a decisive theme for our time, declined through the history of the twentieth century and the first decades of the twenty-first century.
