The mission of âIn Altumâ is to gather students and young professionals to discuss together about the application of the intellectual catholic tradition as well as its social teaching in order to build the civil society and to give a contribution to the public debate with a multidisciplinary approach.
The objective is to build up an international leader community to pursue the truth and the wisdom, connecting the teachings of the Catholic Church with the complexity of the society in all its dimension, public and private.
Beyond all the panel regarding the freedom of expression, human rights, religions and politics, we also had free time to network with the other participants and to visit the city. âI keep with me fo my further path, the friendship with all the participantâ, Fr Nils says. âIt was impressive to discover how each participant taks on such a social responsability  in their own countries and how they carry out their faith in their professional careerâ.
In line with the motto of the Duc In Altum program, it has been putted particoular attention on the intellectual depth of the meeting to strengthen the mission of infuse the the values ââof the gospel into the Western world.
