In anticipation of opening the registration for the First International Meeting on Communication in Religious Life next month, we share with you the programme for the week.
 
A week of free of charge online events dedicated to Communication in Religious Life, with
participation of about 500 communicators, will offer:
- more than 10 training workshops,
- conferences reserved for communicators,
- round tables
with the objectives of: training, networking and change.

The choice of topics of all the workshops and conferences is the result of a collective decision that the UISG communication office took together with the communicators of religious life who responded to the survey carried out in the previous months through the Delibera platform - a collaborative intelligence tool that acts as a technological support in the interactions between a group.

The International Meeting will officially conclude on 4 December with an online and in-presence round table at the UISG headquarters during which the publication "Sisters Communicate" will be presented. The document contains the results of the research on Communication in Religious Life carried out on a sample represented by more than 300 womens Congregations.

The fruit of the International Meeting will be a declaration of intent for a "more effective and evangelical communication in religious life".

Entrevista con P. Lucio Adrían Ruiz, Secretario del Dicasterio para la Comunicación

“Los influencer tienen la capacidad de decir las cosas en el lenguaje que la gente entiende. Mantener el Kerigma pero dicho en un lenguaje que el otro pueda seguir y del medio que están usando.

No contrapongamos una evangelización virtual de una real, porque todo es real en nuestra vida … la presencialidad la exige el amor. Hagamos enamorar a la gente de Jesús … porque el amor, naturalmente va a llevar a la presencia."
