Social, fake news, artificial intelligence, individualism, threaten the identity of communicators and there is a need to spread a culture and a space for dialogue, listening, encounter. Communication needs reciprocity even among communicators to generate thought, community, fraternity.
Communication is no longer just a matter for professionals but for everyone: educators, parents, artists, religious who can make their contribution to inclusion and solidarity, to sharing the cultural riches, achievements and sufferings of peoples. But how to communicate the Gospel and its values of proximity and closeness in our time? The question posed by the Synod of the Catholic Church, which ended in October, calls for new sensitivities, skills and practices today.
Suggestions for reflection and the sharing of ongoing experiences will take place in the webinar/lab “Communicating to build community” to be held online on Wednesday 12 February 2025 at 6pm (Italian time).
