Day 1
We started with a classic Gen song “GEN Revolution”. Afterward we made a time travel to the roots of our Gen Movement – the first Gen Fest, Gen Formula, Youth Assembly…
In the afternoon we focused on the birth of the charism of unity with a visit to Trento, we discovered the different places where Chiara Lubich lived and worked. With the exhibition of Chiara Lubich and the effects of the charism of unity all over the world.
Then the “PACT of reciprocal Love.
Day 2
After focusing on our roots in Trent, we started with our “now”, our daily life as Gen.
Some Gen from Italy, South Africa, Cuba, Hungary and Lebanon shared their experience with us. They talked about challenges, moments when day create Jesus in the midst, their life in work and university as Gen. It was a strong moment of reciprocal trust to share just personal moments of our lives.
Day 3
A day filled with music, dancing, and sharing. The focus of today was the future life of GEN. We were able to share many experiences of the different realities and difficulties we are facing in our own countries, and how together we can overcome them.
Day 4
The Congress is ending! It was a time full of new ideas, friends and unity. At the beginning of the day we shared our experience, thoughts and feelings that we had during the Congress. It was a moment of strong unity and trust between all of us. We also did an update about all the projects in the Gen2&Y4UW Center – GENapp (a new online formation platform), Assembly 2020 of the Focolare Movement (How the youth can participate in this process?), @unitedworldproject and @y4uw.official (Pathways)!
