Festival dell’Accoglienza 2026: a Torino cento appuntamenti dedicati alla forza della mitezza

Organizer: Diocese of Turin From 11 September to 30 October the Festival of Welcome returns to Turin. The sixth edition offers one hundred events and 150 guests, following the guiding theme “Meekness is disarming. An idea of courage”. In a time marked by wars, tensions and inequalities, the Festival invites people to rediscover meekness as a courageous and concrete choice: not weakness, but the ability to oppose violence and defend the rights of the most vulnerable people. The theme recalls the style of Pope Leo XIV, marked by dialogue and firmness in protecting migrants and those who suffer exclusion, deportations and injustices. Promoted by the Migrants Ministry of the Archdiocese of Turin, the Diocese of Turin and the Generazioni Migranti APS-ETS Association, the 2026 edition will unfold over 50 days. The program includes meetings, celebrations and in-depth sessions, with over one hundred events, 150 guests – ten of them international – and more than one hundred partners. The initiatives will intertwine with other events, including Ballatorino Social Dance, Biennale Democrazia, Il Tesoro degli avi, the Festival della Migrazione, the Festival della Nonviolenza and
