A new website for the Pilgrimage

The idea of making a new website arises from the wish to document the richness of life that flourishes from the Pilgrimage experience.

We all know the increasing numbers of participation, the great personalities that took part,  the attention to the joyful and painful events that marked the last three decades.

Where does this abundance come from?
It is obvious that no organization could make it happen.
“The true protagonist of the history is the beggar. Christ who begs for man's heart and man's heart who begs for Christ” (Fr. Luigi Giussani).
So the most classical gesture challenges us to learn what we thought we already think to know.

In details...
Even though the old website was an effective tool that could provide all the content of the various Pilgramage editions to the users, we consider appropriate that, in addition to a graphic restyling, it is necessary to rethink our portal also from a conceptual perspective.

We realized that we need to think to the website not only as a documents file, but also as  a space where to show the pilgrimage experience to anyone who meets us online and where to give the opportunity to who take part in it to live again and to deepen this gesture.

We tried therefore to make the content more accessible and immediate, giving more space to the usability of the texts, images and videos, from the people who enliven it to the volunteers who give their time in order to make all this possible. We tried to give more space to the Torch of Peace and to the association "Friends of the Pilgrimage", and, for this reason we will soon start some areas dedicated to their work, where to meet, to share content and opinions, to support the pilgrimage. We decided to enhance the nwesletter service and the contacts management, preparing some sections for the volunteers and the press, in order that they will be always up-to-date.
As the new website is conceived it increases the range of managment and services: this is not the result of an attempt, but a new starting point on which to build and to involve anyone who wants to contribute... See you there!
