Popular literature, cinema and fictional series profoundly influence young people's understanding of love and friendship, as well as other personal and relational dimensions that shape a person’s character.

The workshop Educating young people about love and friendship through the classics aims to offer an indepth look at six literary classics on these topics, which were then produced as films, so as to cultivate young people’s taste for great stories and to educate them better.

The works will be presented by an international team of writers and teachers with a highly trained educational sensibility.

The workshop Educating young people about love and friendship through the classics is organized by Familyandmedia Chair Elina Gianoli Gainza of the Department of Communications of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (Rome).
