Solidarity: how to sow hope in our hearts in a simple way

For us Marists, solidarity is seen as the will to serve, to act for the common good, to promote ethical relationships and to generate opportunities for all. More than a fine word standing out in difficult times, it is an essential value in our daily lives. Solidarity is part of the Marist way of being.

During the pandemic, it was necessary to reinvent forms of activity, actions and projects.

An initiative of the Province of Brasil Centro-Sul

The Marist Province of Brasil Centro-Sul found a way to propagate solidarity actions and addressed the issue through a presentation panel and an electronic book.
“A more fraternal and supportive world”: this is the expectation after the pandemic, according to a survey carried out by the Sivis Institute in collaboration with the Cidade da Gente programme, in Curitiba. The project interviewed more than 500 people. The research, which took the form of an electronic book, with simple and accessible language, shows how simple initiatives can make a difference in the world.
The e-book entitled ‘Solidarity: what to expect from the future? – How knowledge about our situation can help us to make the world a more fraternal place” is available free of charge. Click here to download it.
Produced by the Province’s Communication and Marketing team, in collaboration with the Sivis Institute, the e-book was launched on 27 August at the Farol de Esperança panel, which raised the issue of Solidarity: what to expect in the future?
The debate was attended by representatives of the PUCPR’s Education for Solidarity Observatory, the Sivis Institute and UMBRASIL, who discussed the power of solidarity in a difficult time like the one we are currently experiencing. The participants analysed the role of solidarity actions in the construction of a post-pandemic future and spoke about how compassion and empathy will be part of our daily life after the crisis.
