New Humanity is living a period of important anniversaries!

The 17th of December 1996 Mrs Chiara Lubich – founder of the Focolari Movement and of New Humanity – received the UNESCO’s Prize for Peace Education at the UNESCO’s Headquarters.
Finally, the 14th of March 2008 Mrs Chiara Lubich passed and since than, on that day, every year a world ceremony remembers a particular new element introduced by her charisma. 2016’s celebrations are obviously focused on peace promotion.
