Can We Talk About Peace Today in the Same Way As We Did 10 or 20 Years Ago? The city of Assisi, Italy, once again became a place where this question sounded especially relevant. In the year marking the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi whose ideas of peace, brotherhood, and responsibility keep inspiring people worldwide, an international meeting titled “From Assisi to the Quantum Age: Rethinking Peace Through Brotherhood” took place on June 2, 2026, in the historic Sala della Conciliazione at Palazzo dei Priori, as part of the Rome–Assisi Peace March 2026. The event was organized by E-Novation in cooperation with Accademia Internazionale Mauriziana, Fiaccola per la Pace, the National Committee San Francesco 1226–2026, Assisi Pax International, Spiritual Diplomats, and the Institute for Advanced Studies and Cooperation (IASC) within the framework of the international World Changers initiative. The meeting brought together diplomats, researchers, representatives of the cultural field, spiritual communities, and the technology sector, to seek a new language of peace in the era of rapid changes — the time when technologies are transforming not just the economy and politics, but also the very perception of a human, society, and global responsibility. ALLATRA Italy presented an approach to environmental responsibility in the spirit of the encyclical Laudato Si’, paying special attention to the issue of micro- and nanoplastics as one of global challenges for the biosphere and human health. This problem requires a comprehensive scientific, ethical, and societal response. On this topic, Nabil Bougaresh, representative of the ALLATRA Global Research Center, delivered a speech emphasizing the importance of an interdisciplinary approach and international cooperation in the study of global environmental processes. The ALLATRA Italy media team interviewed speakers and organizers of the event in order to highlight their views on the future of the world, the importance of international dialogue, and the need for a joint search for solutions in the face of global challenges. Assisi once again confirmed its role as a space for dialogue where different approaches and ideas can unite for a more holistic vision of the future of humankind. #Assisi2026
