THE CHARITY MEETING POINT: THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE TO ENCOURAGE THE ACTIVITIES OF SOCIAL IMPACT PROJECT

Abstract

In recent years, social impact projects are increasing. These projects require an appropriate methodology that allows for reaching the objective. Define a methodology is more challenging if the project has to be a multidisciplinary vision. When technicians develop these projects, risk can emerge: Focus just on the results and achieve the required indicator. The work of the Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI combines the relevance of the technical aspects to improve human life quality with a deep reflection about the charity. In this study, two of his Encyclical letters, Deus caritas est (DCE) and Caritas in veritate (CIV), are analyzed to identify useful keys for executing social impact projects with an integral human focus. The qualitative research elements were considered for the analysis.
