    Antonella Sberna’s Vision for Interreligious Dialogue in Europe

    Antonella Sberna is an Italian politician of Brothers of Italy who was elected member of the European Parliament in 2024.

    Addressing an audience of distinguished leaders, young participants, and interfaith representatives, Sberna passionately articulated her vision for implementing Article 17 of the EU Treaty, which promotes interreligious and intercultural dialogue as a cornerstone of democratic values and social harmony.

    Antonella Sberna is an Italian politician of Brothers of Italy who was elected member of the European Parliament in 2024.

    Antonella Sberna, the recently appointed Vice President of the European Parliament, delivered a compelling speech today, emphasizing the transformative power of interfaith dialogue and the crucial role of thoughtful communication in fostering European unity.

    Speaking to an audience of distinguished leaders, Sberna outlined her vision for implementing Article 17, which centers on promoting democratic values, religious freedom, and peaceful coexistence across the European Union.

    As she eloquently stated, “The active engagement of different ethical systems, whether religious or secular, ensures that our social path reflects inclusivity and mutual respect, honoring diversity while promoting integration.”

    A Commitment to Dialogue and Inclusion

    Sberna underscored the European Parliament’s dedication to creating spaces for dialogue that transcend cultural and religious boundaries. She described Article 17 as a vehicle for building mutual understanding, addressing conflicts, and nurturing interfaith collaboration. According to her, the Parliament achieves this through various activities, such as seminars and roundtables, which bring together voices from religious, philosophical, and non-confessional communities.

    Highlighting the upcoming seminar on December 10, 2024, Sberna remarked, “Together we create a Europe that is inclusive, united, and forward-thinking. The next such initiative…focuses on the importance of intergenerational dialogue in addressing Europe’s future challenges.”

    The Power of Words

    A central theme of Sberna’s speech was the significance of words in shaping societal values. Drawing from the wisdom of Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, she declared, “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” This sentiment formed the cornerstone of her call to action: using language responsibly to combat hate speech and promote unity.

    “When misused, words can divide, harm, or spread hate,” Sberna cautioned. “But when they are used with care, words can unite, foster understanding, and challenge prejudice.” She encouraged her audience to embrace the power of language to inspire positive change and uphold core European values of democracy, freedom, solidarity, and human dignity.

    Building Bridges for the Future

    Acknowledging the challenges ahead, Sberna expressed confidence in the collective ability to achieve meaningful progress. “Through interreligious dialogue, we create a common space where diverse communities coexist,” she stated. Her vision for the future includes strengthening cooperation, amplifying diverse voices, and fostering a sense of belonging among all Europeans.

    As she concluded her address, Sberna left a resonant message: “The words we choose today shape the world we live in tomorrow. Let us use them wisely to construct a framework for peaceful coexistence and shared responsibility.”

    Antonella Sberna’s speech marked an inspiring start to her mandate, setting a tone of optimism and collaboration for the years to come. As the European Parliament prepares for its December seminar and future initiatives, her leadership promises to champion the values that unite Europe in diversity.
