“As a fruit of this community spirituality, the springs of living water to which the Gospel refers (cf. Jn 4:14) flood the most diverse human realities.” (Chiara Lubich)
Igino Giordani Foundation
The Igino Giordani Foundation , created in 2003, not only preserves the valuable political and cultural legacy of this great thinker, but also acts as a driving force for change in the service of society. Since then, it has promoted projects that truly transform lives: international cooperation, aid in natural disasters, support for people at risk of exclusion and training in values such as fraternity and the economy of communion, among many other initiatives.
Economy of Communion
The Economy of Communion (EoC) was born in 1991, inspired by a trip of Chiara Lubich to Brazil, where she was confronted with the deep economic inequalities that marked that society. This project was born as a concrete response to build a more just and fraternal system, where solidarity and cooperation are the driving force of change. Since its first steps in Spain, numerous companies have decided to join this initiative, demonstrating that another economy is possible.
Political Movement for Unity
What if politics could be different? Political Movement for Unity (MPpU), founded in 1996, makes a bold proposal: it places fraternity at its core. It is not a political party, but a way of working together, without divisions, to build real solutions. In Spain, this movement began in 2004, and has since inspired many people in the public sphere.
New Humanity
The New Humanity Movement, born in 1968 as the social expression of the Focolare, is promoting a profound transformation in society. Its mission is simple but powerful: to inspire people to renew the world through their daily actions, infusing social structures with hope, confidence and optimism. Committed people are the soul of this movement, bringing the values of the Gospel to every corner: from the social and cultural to the economic and political. Its natural evolution led to the creation of the NGO New Humanity, which expands its impact globally.
Association of Cities for Fraternity
Can you imagine a city where everyone works together, regardless of their differences? That is what the association Ciudades por la Fraternidad, founded in 2018, is seeking. Politicians, citizens and local groups come together to share ideas, good practices and commit to a common goal: to create more humane and supportive communities.
Living Peace
In 2011, from Egypt, a dream emerged that continues to grow: Living Peace International, a global network for peace. This project connects people, schools and organizations around the world to spread peace through concrete actions such as Peace Dice and the Time-out, reminding us that peace begins with small gestures.
Mosaico
Music and art can change lives, and that is exactly what it does. Mosaico, Cultural Association of Performing Arts, a project inspired by Gen Rosso. Through workshops, concerts and musicals for children and young people, they spread values such as peace, fraternity and dialogue between cultures.
Laboratory of Artistic Communion
The LabCA (Laboratory of Artistic Communion) group is made up of artists, curators, critics and historians who have been experimenting and reflecting on communion in artistic practice for more than twenty-five years.
Here, each participant shares their talent and sensitivity to create something unique, transformative and full of authenticity, without losing their personal style.
