International Meeting RELATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY

International Meeting – 18-20 October 2024
Castel Gandolfo, Italy | Cordoba, Argentina

From October 18 to 20, 2024, experts and visionaries from across the globe will convene in Castel Gandolfo, Italy, and Cordoba, Argentina, for the International Meeting on Relational Sustainability. This gathering seeks to foster a new synthesis of personal, environmental, social, and economic dimensions through a holistic and collaborative approach.

Relational Sustainability emphasizes the interconnections between individuals, society, and nature. It promotes deep, meaningful relationships at every level—interpersonal, societal, and environmental—to lay the foundation for a just, resilient, and sustainable world. The event will spotlight how human and natural sciences can contribute to this integration, addressing today’s complex challenges, including climate change, resource depletion, and social inequalities.

The conference will explore a variety of themes, such as Integral Ecology, Sustainable Development, and Environmental Ethics. Participants will also discuss technological solutions for ecological issues, sustainable urban planning, and the role of education in fostering a culture of sustainability. The program will feature keynote addresses, interactive workshops, roundtables, and poster presentations, allowing for cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovative problem-solving.

Organized by New Humanity and supported by leading global initiatives like EcoOne, SocialOne, and the Economy of Communion, the meeting invites governments, businesses, non-profits, and individuals to engage in meaningful dialogue. This gathering embodies the Focolare Movement’s commitment to unity and dialogue, encouraging participants to envision sustainable solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
