Rome (Italy). On 7 March 2025, to celebrate the 38th Day of the Faculty and in proximity of the International Women’s Day (8 March), the Pontifical Faculty of Education Science «Auxilium» proposes the International Study Conference “Father daughter/son relationships in the Religions of the Holy Book. Paths and perspectives”, in-person and online.
The theme of this year continues the research in the motivating inspirations of the two conferences held in 2022 and 2024, focusing on the “culture of encounter” and on “weaving networks” between different study and research centers, to offer a contribution to the processes of humanization of the world.
In particular in this jubilee year, the Faculty aims to make an appropriate and effective contribution to living deeper and more intense relationships in reciprocity between mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons. It is in its practice to focus on reciprocity, thus on listening to the female and male “voice”, but also on the awareness that this theme is more daring and intriguing than the previous ones, which enjoyed a certain relational practice already established.
The invited speakers will lead, in the plurality of hermeneutics working in their vast field of studies and research, to a re-understanding of generativity as hope for an increasingly human humanity.
