The international Conference “Charism & Creativity - Catalogues, management and innovation regarding the cultural heritage of institutes of consecrated life”, that will be held on May 4^th and 5^th, 2022 in Rome-Antonianum, is a joint initiative of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life and the Pontifical Council for Culture with the collaboration of the National Office for Ecclesiastical Cultural Heritage and Religious Buildings - Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI), the Department of Cultural Heritage of the Church - Faculty of History and Cultural Heritage of the Church - Pontifical Gregorian University, UISG - International Union of Superiors General, USG - Union of Superiors General, SAM – Secretariat for Assistance to Nuns, Department of Architecture - University of Bologna.

The conference in Rome will be a catalyst for experiments and experiences already being carried out across the globe, in order to allow them to be exchanged and extended, and for an initial census of best practices.

The conference will be an international event that will focus on all the segments into which cultural heritage is currently divided: property and movable goods, artistic and testimonial heritage, archives and libraries, and what is currently defined as “intangible heritage”.

This conference will also be an opportunity for a critical and comparative reflection within the Church, in order to establish the possibility of a clear dialogue with the institutions and civil institutes dealing with the protection and enhancement of cultural heritage in the specific national and international contexts.

Registration is now open for the international conference "Charism and Creativity. Catalogues, management and innovation regarding the cultural heritage of institutes of consecrated life", which will take place in Rome at the Auditorium Antonianum in Rome, May 4-5, 2022.

On February 17, at the Holy See’s Press Office, there was a presentation by the promoting dicasteries: the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life and the Pontifical Council for Culture.
