TRAVEL AND PILGRIMAGE

“Wayfarer, there is no path. The path is made by walking "(Antonio Machado)

In the midst of the second wave, the scientific committee of the festival has decided to dedicate the next event to travel and pilgrimage, with the hope that soon this evil will be defeated and we can return to travel, see the world, meet faith and diversity. The Festival wants to get back in motion, faithful to its nomadic soul, and reflect with the public and the many international guests on the power of the journey of faith, experienced precisely as a discovery and encounter not only of other faiths but of a deeper and more authentic spirituality. This is the meaning of our research: an itinerary aimed at exploring and creating oneself, not the quick landing of pre-packaged answers. We propose the usual exploration of differences after a year of closure and apathy. Let's get back on the road with a backpack full of hope and ready for a dutiful confrontation with the other realities that make up the mosaic of today's society, wounded by an unprecedented health emergency but in which solidarity and heroism were on the agenda to defeat the virus of selfishness.
