Curatorial context

The conference 'Theology of Relationship and Gift. Direction for the Society of the Future' is a significant academic gathering co-organized by the Institute of Theological Sciences at Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw (UKSW) and Mt 5,14 | Museum of John Paul II and Primate Wyszyński. It aims to foster a discussion on the theological concept of relationships and the act of giving, positing them as essential for shaping future societies. Experts from nearly 40 scientific centers across 30 countries will participate, delving into the theological underpinnings of interpersonal connections and selfless attitudes. The foundational concept of the conference is a theological framework emphasizing the significance of interpersonal relationships and unconditional giving as defining characteristics for the society of the future. Drawing on Christian personalism and the teachings of John Paul II, the discussions will focus on human experience and the discovery of the meaning of relationships that lead to self-gift. Over two days, specialists in dogmatic theology, pastoral theology, moral theology, spirituality, missiology, philosophy, psychology, pedagogy, and communication sciences will convene. They will explore the vital role of interpersonal relationships in the contemporary world, examining how the theology of gift posits that mature and responsible self-giving is only possible through a strong horizontal relationship ('person-to-person') and a connection to the divine ('person-to-God'). The conference seeks to integrate insights from various scientific disciplines, including pedagogy, psychology, sociology, and economics, to better understand these fundamental human experiences.
