Creating interculture, opening up to discussion and mutual listening while respecting diversity, attentive to the urgencies of the current time such as wars, poverty, care for the common home, ecological transition, fight against individualism, with an eye fixed on the hope generated by faith. After the long stop generated by Covid, the Fuci of Messina “Giorgio La Pira” starts again from itself, aware of belonging to a history, but with the responsibility of sharing the present. “We are not Catholic students but Catholics who study”: this is how young people not only from Messina, but also from the province and Calabria, presented themselves to the rector Giovanna Spatari, to start a renewed cultural journey with her. They were introduced by the vice-rector Giuseppe Giordano who held an in-depth seminar and by the national president of the ecclesial movement of cultural commitment Luigi D’Andrea, the fucini had the opportunity to explain to the number one of the University how they want to reawaken Catholic associations, trying to “transfigure society”. Spatari was satisfied with this meeting which showed, she said, “the desire to create an increasingly wider network of students eager to concretely experience social and cultural commitment in an academic context”. They gave the rector a personalized notebook with Pope Francis’ thoughts on the 44th World Day of Peace, reiterating “that the main objective is to create a unified dialogue in the diversity of ideas”. Linda Cianci is convinced of this – who together with her colleague Domenico Mezzatesta – leads the renewed team currently made up of around 15 young people, with the desire – also urged by the rector – to involve more and more colleagues from all the University’s degree courses. Another fundamental issue concerns the creation of socio-political in-depth courses that “educate concrete civic responsibility”. Together with the ecclesiastical assistant, the Dominican priest Francesco Narcisi, they are already planning initiatives that will involve students from the various university departments.
