The Daughters of St. Paul and the Society of St. Paul, promoters of Communication Week held in Rome and in Cinisello Balsamo, organized an initiative entitled: Voices that Communicate, Faces that Speak. Communication Ecosystems at the Service of Humanity.
This was a training workshop for young people and teachers on the topic of Artificial Intelligence, in light of Pope Leo XIV’s Message for the 60th World Day of Communication 2026, dedicated to the theme Preserving Human Voices and Faces. The initiative offered a day of training and discussion on the relationship between communication, artificial intelligence, and ethics, drawing inspiration from the Pope’s Message as well as from the new challenges posed by digital ecosystems.
The workshop was directed to young people between the ages of 18 and 30 and religion teachers up to 40. It was carried out in two sessions: one on Saturday, February 21st in Rome and another on Saturday, March 7th in Cinisello Balsamo.
The program included the presentation of the pope’s Message, an in-depth discussion on the potentials and risks of Artificial Intelligence by Canzio Dusi (adjunct professor at the Catholic University), and a focus on the ethical implications of AI by Andrea Ciucci (Pontifical Academy for Life) for the Rome meeting and Markus Krienke (Faculty of Theology of Lugano) for the Cinisello Balsamo meeting.
The days concluded with practical group activities. The Pauline Brothers and Sisters offered a concrete training opportunity to guide young communicators toward the conscious use of digital technologies, in keeping with the Pope’s annual Message for the World Day of Communication and the challenges of contemporary communication.
