For Europe Day, “Together for Europe<\/strong>” brought to Brussels the “Contributions of Christian movements and communities to today\u2019s Europe”. 300 movements were represented, with 130 cities involved<\/strong>. At the same time, Teens4Unity<\/strong><\/a> promoted Run4Unity<\/a><\/strong>, their worldwide relay race. New Humanity was involved in the preparation of both events.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is \u201cTogether for Europe?<\/strong><\/a>\u201d In her introductory speech, at the Square Meeting Centre in Brussels, it was Mrs. Maria Voce<\/strong>, president of the Focolare movement who answered this question. She outlined the story of the project to date and highlighted those contributions it can offer contemporary Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mr. Romano Prodi<\/strong>, former European Commission president, echoed her ideas on the \u201cContribution of Christian movements and communities to the Europe of today.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a moment of reflection with several European university students<\/strong>, the program shifted to the issues facing European today: the integration of the socially-excluded<\/strong> and refugees, the family and, with a speech made by Luigino Bruni (professor of Political Economy and Coordinator of the International Economy of Communion<\/strong><\/a> Commission), also the economy.<\/p>\n

Other contributions concerned commitment and initiatives of active citizenship in the preservation of the environment and of peace and human life<\/strong>, with a vision of Europe’s role in the other continents.<\/p>\n

A second part of the program, with an Internet link-up with 130 European cities<\/strong> where other programs connected with \u201cTogether for Europe\u201d were taking place, was opened by Mr. Andrea Riccardi<\/strong>, founder of the Community of Sant’Egidio and Italian Government Minister for International Cooperation and Integration, with a speech on \u201cEurope: beyond the crisis, hope\u201d<\/strong> and the presentation of \u201cTeenagers and their creative involvement in the vision for Europe\u201d through Run4Unity<\/strong>, the worldwide relay race promoted by Teens4Unity<\/strong> which was taking place at the same time on 5 continents.<\/p>\n

The video-message from the President of the European Council, Mr. Herman Van Rompuy<\/strong> set the stage for the conclusion of the program presented by Mr. Thomas R\u00f6mer<\/strong>, head of YMCA Munich, and entitled \u201cLaying solid foundations<\/strong>\u201d,.<\/p>\n

In closing, the \u201cBrussels 2012 Manifesto<\/strong><\/a>\u201d, now also available online, was presented.
\u201cTogether for Europe\u201d was held with the patronage of Mrs.Irina Bokova<\/strong>, Director General of UNESCO; Mr.Jos\u00e9 Manuel Barroso<\/strong>, President of the European Commission and Mr. Thorbj\u00f8rn Jagland<\/strong>, General Secretary of the European Council. A medal of recognition was conferred upon the event by the President of the Italian Republic, Mr. Giorgio Napolitano<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mr.Francesco Pizzorno<\/strong>, president of New Humanity and Mrs. Antonella Bianco<\/strong>, vice president of the same NGO and member of the preparatory commission of this event were also in attendance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
