“Dear friend,
I wish to inform you of the possibility for WUCWO women (aged 30-45) to apply to an Interdisciplinary Course for NGOs that will take place in Rome next September.
Organised by the Pontifical Urbaniana University in cooperation with the Australian Catholic University (ACU) and in collaboration with various dicasteries of the Holy See the course if offered in the context of the ongoing global crisis, both human and anthropological, which, as the Holy Father has said, requires a coherent witness of life. The purpose of this course is precisely to allow us to face new challenges that today's world poses.
The course aims to help participants acquire a specific and up-to-date set of skills in order to face current issues, in light of the Social Doctrine of the Church. It will also help strengthen the acclesial identity of WUCWO and the participant's organisation, as well their knowledge of the work of the Church and the Roman Curia. Please find attached an informational brochure.
