Our history

In 2017, in response to the challenge launched by the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia on issues of affective sexual education, experts from 12 countries met at the Vatican for a two-day seminar to discuss the need to provide assistance to parents in the affective-sexual formation of their children.

After this meeting, it was decided to create the goodlove Foundation, a global initiative that will help parents and educators in the sexual-affective formation of their children by providing them with the best possible resources and programs in each language and region.

In order to achieve this goal, the Foundation decided to create the goodlove community, a meeting and exchange place for all those who are committed to giving young people an education for love in accordance with Catholic values ​​and anthropology.
