INTEGRAL HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

Popular Entertainment, an ambassador world of joy and hope

WEBINAR

The webinar “Popular Entertainment, an ambassador world of joy and hope” will be held on Tuesday 9 September, from 15.30 to 17.30. The event is co-organized by the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) and the Migrantes Foundation.

It will provide an opportunity to get to know better the world of popular entertainment and its link to the Catholic faith, in continuity with the Jubilee of Bands and Popular Entertainment, held on 10 and 11 May last.

The theme of hope, a Jubilee theme, will be discussed in terms of popular religiosity but also as a value present on stage. Through this spiritual lens, we will look at the present as well as the past, with a global vision of a world of particular traditions and folklore, which must come to terms with the reality of globalization.

After the initial greetings from Cardinal Fabio Baggio, undersecretary of the DPIHD, and Msgr. Pierpaolo Felicolo, director general of the Migrantes Foundation, institutional figures and university professors linked to the world of popular entertainment and its pastoral care will speak at the symposium. The moderator is Don Mirko Dalla Torre, Diocesan and Regional Director of the Migrantes Foundation.

The seminar will take place behind closed doors at the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. However, participation is open to all by accessing the following link. Thanks to simultaneous translation, it will be possible to listen in Italian, English and Spanish.
