The 12th Professional Seminar for Church Communication Offices organized by the Pontifical University of Santa Croce (Rome) will consist of a webinar which will be held on April 22 and 29 and on May 6, 13, 20, and 27.
The seminar, which is held every two years in Rome and brings together communication professionals from around the world, was initially postponed from April 2020 to April 2021. Now, the foreseeable evolution of the pandemic over the next few months suggests that we forgo the face-to-face meeting.
The theme and most of the speakers remain. “Inspiring trust” is intended to be an opportunity for Church communicators to reflect on how to regain public trust, and what role communication plays in this process.
