Pubblichiamo una poesia sul Natale scritta per il nostro sito da una protagonista calabrese dell'edc.
La ringraziamo per questo suo dono speciale.

“Per il Natale 2011 Ti ri-dono la parola conquistare.
Tu l’avevi donata a me perché mi potessi fare conquistare dal Tuo Amore
ed io l’ho usata per conquistare i miei spazi.

Tu l’avevi adagiata nel mio cuore perché mi facessi conquistare dalla Tua bellezza
ed io l’ho usata per apparire.

Tu l’avevi consegnata a me per darmi la forza di conquistare i sentieri della vita e riportare a Te i cuori feriti
ed io l’ho usata per sedurre.

La riconsegno a Te deturpata
avvilita
un dono privo di dono
ma so che sei nato per questo
per riempire ogni vuoto.”

Amelia Stellino

Inserted in the Città Nuova n.23/2011

The new n.34 EoC Newsletter is arriving to all Città Nuova subscibers, insert n.23/2011 of December 10. Our newsletter is distributed in over 50,000 copies! The readers of Città Nuova showed us their appreciation by giving us an ample amount of feedback on the first issue of our newsletter, inserted in the magazine that came out in July.

In this issue you will find a large amount of news briefs from around the world: from Asia, to Africa, to Brazil and to Italy. There are reflections on the current status of the project and on which direction to take after the first 20 years, also in the light of a recent survey on the EoC’s identity and future. As always, there are the new theses discussed. Enjoy reading!

 EoC n.34: download the newsletter in print format

From 13 June 2011, a small dream became a reality

The EoC German site is now online!

For a long time our German speaking friends and entrepreneurs from Germany, Switzerland and Austria wanted to have the German language on the EoC website. The first translations had already begun, but the lack of a person who could upload them continuously on the website, prevented this project to come true. Then, on March 2011, a friend of the EoC who lives in Switzerland, Enzo, has offered his time and skills to help EoC with the project: an offer truly appreciated and well accepted by our German speaking friends.

The new survey has been uploaded!

The third part on our challenges as EoC

In sight of the big event in Brazil, for the 20th of the EoC, we have one more survey on "Which challenges is the EoC called to face in the next 20 years?
After having asked opinions, in the last two surveys, on the spreading of the project and on the EoC businesses, today we put you before a series of challenges that regard one of the Economy of Communion's central aspects, around which the whole project revolves: the poor. We're very interested in what you think, so we hope that many of you will vote on this most important challenge!

Welcome 2011!

This year, 2011, is an important year for those who passionately follow the EoC project. It's the project's 20th anniversary! The Brazil 2011 meeting is a goal that we've been imagining, creating, awaiting for four years, and now it's at our doorstep. But in the meantime...there are two very important upcoming events for our "youth project". One is the Summer School for Spanish-speaking Latin America, which was announced at the end of the EoC congress in Bolivia and will take place in O'Higgins (Argentina) at Mariapolis Lia, from January 17 - 22, 2011. The other is actually two international events which will take place in Kenya, from January 23 - 28, at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa and in Mariapolis Piero. It will be the first time that the Economy of Communion is announced as a new paradigm for the development of the African continent.
