THIS PROJECT OF COMPARATIVE RELIGION,
supervised by an international Advisory Board, fosters the interfaith
and intercultural peace building actions by an in-depth, open, respectful
and tolerant dialogue among the Abrahamic faiths.
It embodies a twofold structure: a television serial and a multimedia series.
The former consists of monographic telecastings along the life cycle of the human being in which representatives of the three faiths expound, from their own standing and in the same release, on a particular topic. The comparative multimedia series dwells upon Jewish, Christian and Islamic mystical texts, that, notwithstanding arising out of different ages and cultures, bear witness to the likeness of the mystical path in all traditions, to the sameness of the deep spiritual structure of the human being, regradless ofhis temporal, geographical and cultural setting.

In order to gain the broadest possible viewership, after the television start of the release, the serial will be available for any further language version as an educative DVD series accompanied by an illustrated and didactically oriented manual. It will be circulated to different countries and distributed to educational institutions and the like to be used not only by the broad public but especially in the classroom. This will contribute to make people think critically and creatively, and more inter-culturally aware.

By prompting the comparative vision, the Project underlines the contribution of different cultures to our common heritage and lifestyles; raises awareness
of the importance of exploring together the means to develop an active participation in our society respecting cultural diversity,
– cornerstone for a sustainable peace process and world unity –
in a community based on common shared values.
It tests, influences and informs public policy.

It is a powerful educational agent able to reach all segments of the international society, educating – particularly young people –
beyond schools and curricula to the vital values and sense
of belonging to the human community
of global citizen.

1 Jubilo, from Late Latin júbilum, jubilare, «to shout for joy, rejoicing», from Greek iabelaios, from iobelos, from Hebrew yôbhêl, «jubilee,» formerly «a trumpet, ram’s horn,» lit. «ram.»
