The new technologies provide the means to design, develop and implement a new type of electronic digital communication for multimedia (video, audio, images) and the Centro Pro Unione intends to be in step with the times by using these new forms of communication and interaction.
We want to offer such media resources that will be displayed in this section and that are the result of the collaboration of a team involved in the ministry of education and training that promote ecumenical formation, in harmony with the authentic spirit and charism of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement and its founder, the Servant of God Father Paul Wattson.
Some steps of our media initiatives
In 2015 we launched the first audiovisual project in conjunction with the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. A video series called ‘120 Seconds of Ecumenism’. It is a project of ecumenical formation in the form of brief interviews with scholars, teachers and experts, who, through their presentations, express a variety of views and perspectives, characteristic of those who seek the unity of the Church. In the same year we released a documentary [ watch here ] on ecumenical formation: “Ecumenical & Interreligious Movements from a Catholic Perspective” showing unique experience of the Summer School that the Centro Pro Unione annually offers. Its participants comes from many geographic places and backgrounds to meet in Rome to learn and live an historical and theological experience in the heart of Christianity.
New challenges
Among the media projects in continuous development that we have achieved is there the streaming of lectures, conferences and celebrations; The publication of the collection of audio podcasts about lectures and conferences held on the Centro, that has been given by variuos speakers during our lastest years of activity. And the digitalization/organizzation of the video-photographic archive of the Centro for the publication on the website.
