The launch took place in the Aula Magna of the Pontificia Universidad Urbaniana, in the presence of figures from sports, music and technology, in a party atmosphere, with music, performances and songs from various countries.
At the time of taking the floor, Bono spoke in English and requested the help of Lousteau, former Argentine ambassador to the US, to help him translate his words. “On the fifth day of the Laudato Sí School, here we are. Congratulations to all. A few years ago I became part of Scholas’ sponsorship, and it is a great pleasure to be here”, stated the Irish musician, as translated by Lousteau.
“We are celebrating the culture of encounter, but today is also a very special day because what Scholas promotes has been transformed, forgive me if I’m wrong, into canon law, and there has been a decision. And this transforms things because what is celebrated is the inclusion of the other, regardless of differences. And that inclusion means that even those who don’t care have to be interested in today,” added the U2 frontman.
In addition, Bono asked the Supreme Pontiff a question: “In the One campaign, women’s education is a very important topic. I wanted to ask you if the superpower that women have to change the world is also a superpower to modify the care of the environment on the planet”.
“There is a common phrase. We usually talk about ‘Mother Earth’, not ‘Father Earth’. That’s all. It’s very clear. In addition, as I told you a while ago, since that afternoon on the block, they are in charge, ”Francisco replied, with humor.
The international movement of students committed to defending the environment is based on the experience gained by the pontifical foundation Occurring Scholasa global network of young people united through education and sport.
The network, created by the Argentine pope in August 2013, a few months after his election as pontiff, is present in 190 countries and has nearly half a million schools of all religions, both public and private.
During the year, young people will develop socio-environmental impact projects in their communities and will invite personalities from the world of culture and technology, such as the leader of U2, Bono, to give insiprational talks.
