8th PROFESSIONAL SEMINAR FOR CHURCH COMMUNICATION OFFICES
All the participants in the Seminar are invited to submit Presentations.
The Presentations can follow the traditional pattern of an academic paper or present experiences, projects and initiatives considered useful for the communications offices of the Church. In both cases, the matters dealt with in the presentations should be related to the theme of the Seminar.

If a Presentation will require technical assistance (audio, visual, CD-ROM, Power-point, etc.), please indicate the precise requirements in the submission of the paper to the Secretariat.
Each communicator will have 25 minutes: 20' minutes for the exposition and 5 minutes for questions with the public.
We accept texts in Italian, English, Spanish and French.
