Diocese of Milano to present "Oltre le sbarre" on October 12

The Diocese of Milano will present the details of "Oltre le sbarre: uno sguardo che rende giustizia," a program for young people involving visits to and from prisons, on Monday, October 12. The presentation meeting will take place from 19 to 21 at the Basilica of Sant’Eufemia in Milan.

Giulia Aprigliano, a law graduate and the project leader, will moderate the evening. She will lead a discussion between Giuseppe Pitò, Alessandro Frosio, and Emma Tidu with Ivo Lizzola, a pedagogue and former professor of social pedagogy and marginality at the University of Bergamo.

The youth ministry of the diocese developed this program following the Jubilee and the words of Pope Francis in the bull Spes non confundit, which encouraged sharing hope with detainees. The project aims to help young people reflect on punishment, responsibility, and human dignity through direct encounters within the prison system.
