L’amore – lo constato sempre di più a contattodi singoli e gruppi di religioni, etnie e culture diverse – è iscritto nel DNA di ogni uomo. È la forza più potente,feconda e sicura che può legare l’intera umanità. Ma esige un capovolgimento totale di cuori, di mentalità, di scelte.

ChiaraLubich

In tempi di divisione e conflitti, il dialogo si fa più che mai necessario. Il convegno intende essere uno spazio di comunione e di riflessione sulle sfide e l’anelito per la pace: pace tra le persone e pace col creato, nell’impegno per una ecologia integrale. Esso vorrebbe offrire segni di speranza nella complessa e dolorosa situazione attuale, attraverso approfondimenti e la condivisione dell’esperienza di fraternità costruita da persone di varie religioni e culture, nel contesto della spiritualità del Movimento dei Focolari. L’evento è organizzato dal Centro per il Dialogo Interreligioso in collaborazione con Faithinvest e il Movimento Laudato Sì.

Christianity and socialism have historically been at odds with each other, yet both have played a significant role in shaping the world we live in today. However, something has changed since the days of intransigent atheism and militant anticlericalism on the one hand and excommunication under the banner of irreconcilable anti-Marxism on the other. The project of a transversal social ethic (promoted by the Sophia University Institute and DIALOP) aims to bring these two communities together constructively and positively, despite the sufferings and challenges of yesterday and today. The importance of dialogue cannot be underestimated, especially in the face of global threats such as nuclear confrontation, the devastating impact of globalisation, wars, exploitation of resources, climate emergency and environmental degradation, policies to close doors to refugee and migrant flows, and much more. Despite these challenges, humanity has always produced and can still produce credible proposals to address the fundamental problems that our changing world is facing. In this context, Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato si’ has become one of the fundamental texts for understanding and navigating the current anthropological and ecological-social crisis. Rather than simply denying it, treating it with indifference or comfortable resignation, or thinking it can be solved by blind faith in technical solutions, it needs to be faced starting from a “new universal solidarity” (LS §14) founded – as we propose – in a transversal social ethic that requires the participation and involvement of each and everyone: individuals and institutions and governments, at the local and international levels.

Context 

The UN 2023 Water Conference and the Water Action Agenda will unite the world for water. The key building blocks of the Water Action Agenda are: commitment to action, sustained and scalable implementation, follow-up and review processes. These blocks will enable replication and scaling up of what works and bring successful solutions to global scale.  

Side events are a great opportunity to galvanize commitments during the Conference. 

Our side event has submitted a commitment to the Water Action 

     The ultimate change to which the intervention aims is that the families of Mugina and Rugombo (Cibitoke department, Burundi) can live a healthy life. 

For its addition we will work primarily on the construction of 54.421 km of water infrastructure connected to the public network and at the same time on training the population on hygiene, prevention and management of the common good, on the construction of 100 pilot ecological latrines, on the launch of 12 health insurance mutual groups to facilitate access to medical care for all. 

Our intervention in Burundi for the Water Action Agenda is aimed at two local communities, and also involves 13,775 children and youths in 7 schools. Access to drinking water for them does not only concern the improvement of hygienic and health conditions but the right to study and education itself, which will now be better protected. 

This and other water access actions by AMU start from initiatives of local indigenous communities and minorities, with which the related projects have been elaborated. The realization of these projects therefore also constitutes a process of empowerment of these minorities and opens the doors to a greater access to their rights, in dialogue with the local authorities and the majority population.
