DialogUE and the ecology of relationships

A few months ago a veteran of Together for Europe asked me if our network has any influence on the life of the Continent. The question surprised me, but behind the words I sensed the real question: ‘did my-our work make sense’? Last year, the European Union invited us to participate in a call that “promotes citizens’ participation and involvement in the democratic life of the EU” in these three fields: communication, social policy and ecology The webinar held on 2 March developed the latter.

Our common YES to the protection of creation

The challenges for the protection of creation and an integral ecology are growing exponentially worldwide. On 2nd March 2024, the Together for Europe network has dedicated an entire day online to this topic. Professionals and activists from various Churches and Movements, from 9 European countries, spoke at the Seminar entitled: ‘Called to Unity – Towards an Ecology of Relationships’. An enthralling ‘journey’, in which the speakers in an atmosphere of increasing convergence presented their research and commitment to environmental protection, and then entered into dialogue with the many persons present in the ‘virtual hall’.

Our Vision of Europe

A united and multifaceted Europe with strong social cohesion in cultural diversity. Our diversity should no longer be a reason for fear or separation. We live for a Europe that does not suppress them, but rather rediscovers them as riches and develops and harmonises them.

A Europe animated by fraternity. To spread this Europe we offer the fruits of our Gospel-based love: sharing of goods and resources; equality and freedom for all; openness to those with other cultures and religious traditions. This lifestyle can be an inspiration for bolder choices in all fields.

A Europe that becomes itself a ‘message of peace’, a bridge between peoples. We build it by living as reconciled people in our daily lives and committing ourselves to promoting a culture of encounter.

A democratic, participatory Europe. The awareness that each of us is a unique and unrepeatable subject, with an irrepressible vocation for relations, makes each one a resource for building new forms of responsible democratic participation, for constructive relations between citizens and institutions.

A Europe aware of its responsibilities and open to the world.
