Mariapolis, literally “the cities of the Virgin Mary”, are annual workshops organized by the Focolare Movement all over the world. People of all ages, cultures, religious beliefs and social backgrounds come together to spend several days full of fun, spirituality and thought. This gives an opportunity to refresh the spirit and to get focused again on the essential things through dialogue and mutual love.

Revisiting the places chosen by Chiara Lubich, the founder of the Focolare Movement, for the first edition of Mariapolis organized in 1949, this continental edition of Mariapolis is going to be a 4-week workshop which will see 2,400 people from about fifty European countries. They will alternate to live an experience dedicated to fraternity and to rediscover the beauty of Europe in its diversity.

The motto of this edition is: “Aim High!”

New Humanity will sponsor the event together with Primiero Municipality and Community.
