When we create with our hands, we simultaneously activate our minds and feet: doing is always the fruit of thought and movement toward others.
Pope Francis
November 20, 2025: We celebrated the 36th International Day of Children's and Adolescents' Rights with a workshop dedicated to children and parents, placing the right to peace at its center: a choice born from the awareness that, without peace, no other children's rights can truly be guaranteed.
The workshop was led by Sauro Sabattini—whom we sincerely thank for the sensitivity and care with which he planned and guided the activity—and resulted in the construction of a mobile dove. The meaning of the initiative is twofold: on the one hand, it is symbolic—the dove has always represented peace—and on the other, it is metaphorical. The act of building, and being called to do so together, evokes the idea that peace requires commitment, constant effort, and everyone's contribution.
In thanking Sauro, we thank everyone present, including Ebe Traldi, Councilor for Early Childhood Education Policies.
