The second World Meeting on Human Fraternity, #BeHuman, was presented on Tuesday at the Holy See Press Office.

The meeting, which will take place on May 10-11, involves 12 thematic roundtables in which experts from around the world will engage in fraternal dialogue on the most pressing issues of our contemporary world.

“Roundtable on Peace” to open the meeting

The Secretary of State of the Holy See, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, will open the “Peace Table,” which will take place on the morning of Friday, May 10, at the Palazzo della Cancelleria.

Women, men, and organizations awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, as well as human rights activists, will also participate.

Subsequently, participants at this roundtable will be received in audience by Pope Francis on Saturday, May 11, and then by the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, at the Quirinal Palace.

Pope Francis to participate at “Children: Future Generation” roundtable

Pope Francis will participate at the roundtable on “Children: Future Generation,” which will take place in the New Synod Hall on Saturday afternoon.

This meeting will be preparatory to the first World Children’s Day on May 25-26. The other topics of the panels will be cooperation, sustainability and business, agriculture, education, sports, health, employment, administration, social media, and information.

Among the speakers expected at the roundtables, are economist Jeffrey Sachs, the head coach of the Italian national football team Luciano Spalletti, CEO of Fiat Olivier François, and virtual economy banker Victor Ammer.

The panels will be open to the public and viewable via streaming on the Fratelli Tutti Foundation website with prior reservation.

The two-day meeting will conclude with an event in the portico of St. Peter’s Basilica featuring artists Giovanni Allevi, Roberto Vecchioni, and American country singer Garth Brooks.

Gambetti: recognizing each other as brothers and sisters to walk together

Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, Archpriest of the Papal Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican and one of the organizers of the meeting, commented: “We must bring intelligence back to discussing the human person in a world that is dissolving and marked by financial capitalism, by a technology that has become an end rather than a means, and by greed.”

There is a need, he reiterated, for a reflection that encompasses all situations in an integral way and to “recognize ourselves as brothers and sisters in order to walk together.”
