  • The Vatican is launching its first-ever vocational school and educational center, named Borgo Laudato Si, at the papal estate on Lake Albano.
  • The center is inspired by Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical, “Laudato Si,” which focuses on caring for the planet and environmental justice.
  • It will offer on-site training in sustainable gardening, organic winemaking, and olive harvesting.
  • The project also aims to provide job opportunities for vulnerable groups, including refugees, victims of domestic violence, and former prisoners.
  • The facility will be powered by solar panels and will incorporate systems for zero waste, water conservation, and smart irrigation using artificial intelligence.
  • Profits from products made on-site, such as wine and olive oil, will be re-invested into the educational center.
