Rome (Agenzia Fides) – A new collaboration has been established between the most important “Vacation Schools” in Europe, the “Accademia Britannica” and the youth of the National Association “Papa Boys,” from which came the JOSP Fest in Roma. The Fest allows youth and children to visit the major European and world capitals accompanied by youth from the Papa Boys Association, to learn English, sight-see, and receive solid formation. The website was visited 35,000 times in a matter of a few hours, thanks to the young men and women that work on public relations during the international encounter held on spiritual tourism.
On the final day of the event, the International Day of Prayer for Peace, with the theme “We Want Peace in the Holy Land,” linked up to 400 cities in the world. In the presence of journalist and writer Marco Tosatti and several Tibetan monks, both groups made an international commitment in a spciety where globalization can be seen and interpreted with an ethical and moral character.
