The Mariapolis Centre ‘Chiara Lubich’ is located just a few kilometres from Trento and offers spaces to host meetings, courses and conferences for people of all ages, cultures and nationalities, to foster a culture of meeting and sharing.
Chiara Lubich, a woman of dialogue, open to the whole world, strongly encouraged the building of this centre in the town where the Council of Trento was held, in order to promote ecumenic dialogue at all levels. In 2009 the centre was dedicated to her.
