The first lecture for the course 'Social, Civil, and Communion Enterprises' was held in mixed mode. It is still possible to register
It was a nice surprise that five sons of the 'Land of the Quiet Morning' were present at the opening lecture of the course on social, civil and communion enterprises at the Sophia University Institute in Loppiano on 13 February. Everyone expected to see them appear in the zoom lens from their homes in Seoul or perhaps Busan, perhaps with dinner chopsticks in hand (at our 11.30 am there it is 7.30 pm, and at the end of the lecture it is already 9.15 pm). Instead in the zoom there were only two Koreans (without chopsticks) because an unforeseen circumstance at the time of registration had taken four of them to visit Italy for a few days.
To the fifth Korean, Hyo Young Kang (Francisco), a guest at Loppiano for a few months, we owe the format 
assumed by this course (in English and with half an online audience, thanks to the involvement of the South Korean EoC). Although here in the West we describe them as very reserved, during the interval and in the 'after game' the communication of the small group from the Far East with the other students, mostly from Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, was very intense, an excellent premise to be able to continue to dialogue and collaborate during the rest of the course when they will be 9,000 km away.
Lecturer in this first lesson was Benedetto Gui, who will alternate with Giampietro Parolin and Annette Balaoing in the following appointments. The day's guest was Alberto Ferrucci, with a past as a director of a large company, historic EoC coordinator, privileged witness to the launch of the project and the life of the first companies, and still committed through the consultancy company he founded to living the logic of communion in particular in relations with customers.
The course, which has been realised in collaboration with Economy of Communion, will continue by addressing the topics of cooperatives, non-profit organisations, social enterprises and, of course, the particular management logic proposed by the Economy of Communion, inviting an expert each time, drawing from Italy to attend in presence, but also from North and South America and Africa, and of course online.
If anyone would still like to add themselves to attend in presence or online, they can still do so by writing to the email address: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
