The Meeting for friendship among peoples (Meeting per l'amicizia fra i popoli in italian) is a multi-event festival held every year in Rimini, Italy in a week at the end of August.

Description

The Meeting is clearly inspired by the Catholic vision of the world.

Apart a small group of only seven people who work full-time for its planning, the festival is entirely staged, managed and dismantled by over 2000 volunteers (mostly university students) coming from all over Italy and ten other countries of the world. Communion and Liberation, or CL, is a lay ecclesial movement within the Catholic Church. ...
