IV CONGRESS OF EDUCATORS OF THE CF
TOWARDS A TRANSFORMATIVE CLARETIAN EDUCATION
WELCOME TO
IV CONGRESS OF EDUCATORS OF THE CF
We will wait for you!
We are happy to announce that our next Claretian Family Education Congress is very close, it will be from 2 to 6 November 2021.
We have decided to hold it ON-LINE using the new technologies and platforms of interaction and communication available, which gives us the opportunity to meet as a Claretian educating family, to continue deepening our spirituality and to offer a renewed contribution to the urgent call that Pope Francis makes us to build a “global educational village”.
This modality will favour a wider participation, opening the Congress to all corners of the world, extending bridges between the local-regional-continental and global levels. And all this without having to travel, without having to go through the legal formalities to obtain visas, saving on various expenses.
We look forward to seeing you!
Objectives
To continue to further deepen the educational journey as the Claretian Family and in mission with others.
To re-evaluate the mission of the educational community based on the Gospel, culture and Claretian wisdom.
To explore in depth the global educational pact and Claretian pedagogy in the current context.
