A COMPANIONSHIP WITHOUT BORDERS. TESTIMONIES FROM INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES

Organized by Cdo International

Silvia Caironi, Aventura de Construir, Brazil; Lino Faccin, missionary priest Operazione Mato Grosso, Peru; Juan Emilio Parada, Edudown, Chile; Giordano Pecci, OB Service – Città dei Maestri, Rimini. Moderated by Mauro Battuello, Vice President Cdo Opere Sociali and Piazza dei Mestieri, Turin

Ours is a companionship born without borders. It echoes the prophecy of Saint Paul VI, who spoke of a sui generis people when referring to the Church. Our companionship, too, is a people: a people of works—men and women who, without limits, with creativity and trust, seek to cooperate in building a better world. The purpose of this meeting is to share a few emblematic experiences of social initiatives at work in different parts of the world, which can serve as inspiration for the creation of new enterprises and a better world for everyone.
