“There is a basic and essential recognition that must be made in order to walk toward social friendship and universal fraternity: realizing how much a human being is worth, how much a person is worth, always and in every circumstance.” This is the invitation made by Pope Francis in the encyclical Fratelli tutti. In an era of individualism, where people are increasingly isolated or confined within the limits of their identity groups, it is essential to rediscover the relational component of the human person. The young members of the Comunità di Connessioni association, together with the Foundation for Subsidiarity, will present proposals for social and political reform rooted in the paradigm of fraternity — proposals that place the human person and their original relational dimension at the center of rebuilding the country.
