 The Pope explained that the event is promoted and organized by the Dicastery for Culture and Education. He explained it will be an occasion in which to reflect a common dream with its focus on the theme “Let’s learn from boys and girls," which he said, illustrates "the desire to go back to having pure, childlike feelings because the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like little children.” “Children teach us the pureness of relationships and the spontaneous acceptance of the stranger and respect for all creation. Dear children, I too am waiting for you all to learn from you,” he said. “Dear children I too am waiting for you to learn from you.”
