The 12,000 young people of a hundred countries who will be present at the appointment in Budapest (Aug 31 to Sept 9), represent tens of thousands of their contemporaries in the world who share the ideal of fraternity.

The Genfest was born from a prophetic intuition of Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare Movement. The Genfest is a meeting of young people who want to show the world that universal brotherhood, a united world, is an Ideal worth living for.

 "Let's bridge" is the title of the 10th edition of the Genfest, the "celebration" of the youth.
