In-person event In the Encyclical Laudato Si’, Pope Francis calls for alliances to cultivate generative dialogues. He reminds us that we cannot make theology without having a dialogue with science. It is increasingly important to find common spaces for dialogue between theology and science, between human needs and nature’s needs, between spiritual harms and ecological harms. We could say that such dialogue becomes a crucial generative experience; an experience of hope and collaboration. It is in this context that we welcome the project, supported by the Swedish government, between the Holy See's Dicastery for Integral Human Development and the Stockholm Environment Institute in Rome, at the service of all change makers and the wider public. Among the participants: H. E. Cardinal Michael Czerny, prefect of the Dicastery for Integral Human Development Ulf R. Hansson, Director Swedish Institute of Classical Studies in Rome, H.E. Andrés Jato, Swedish Ambassador to the Holy See Måns Nilsson, Executive Director SEI Tomás Insua, President Laudato Sì Movement And some change makers.

Laudato Si’ Week 2023 will be celebrated with the film “The Letter” to mark the eighth anniversary of Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical on care for creation. This global celebration will unite Catholics to rejoice in the progress we have made in bringing Laudato Si’ to life, and show how the protagonists of “The Letter” are already doing so. During the event, the protagonist of The Letter will respond to three key questions: Where are the protagonists now? What do they think of the future? Where do we go from here? The event will be open to questions from the audience through the Zoom feature.
