“YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE A NEW ECOLOGICAL SENSITIVITY AND A GENEROUS SPIRIT…” (POPE FRANCIS, LAUDATO SI’, 209)

The Earth Partner Prize provides a platform for a generation that has internalized the ecological crisis as part of its daily reality. Each year, participants between the ages of 14 and 30 are invited to express their experiences creatively through any media, creating a global dialogue about the defining challenge of our time.

Representing 28 countries, this exhibition brings together 55 works from previous editions of the Earth Partner Prize. What emerges is an intimate and expansive body of work by a generation coming of age in crisis. We are proud to partner with the Laudato Si’ Center for Higher Education in presenting these works at Borgo Laudato Si’, in the pontifical gardens of Castel Gandolfo, for a unique journey that expresses both the urgency of the current crisis as well as a profound hope for a truly integral ecology.
