The 2nd face-to-face meeting of Champagnat Global will take place in L’Hermitage (France) from 7th to 11th March 2025.
The meeting aims especially to deepen the knowledge of and commitment to Champagnat Global on the part of the Marist school principals who play a fundamental role in the promotion and involvement of the educational communities in the development of the Marist global network of schools.
The meeting is also intended to
- Celebrate our vocation as followers of Jesus in the way of Mary, in the footsteps of Marcellin Champagnat.
- To foster the experience of being a global family among the participants.
- To deepen the roots of the educational values of the Marist Mission.
- To share and collaborate in the response of the Marist school to the challenges of the future of the planet and of humanity.
- To continue to develop collaboratively the Champagnat Global journey.
A group of about 150 participants will be present, comprising representatives of the General Government, the Global Champagnat team and advisory committee, the education structures and teams of each administrative unit, especially school principals and representatives of the various mission networks of the Institute (universities, publishing houses, solidarity, voluntary service, Marist youth).
Logo and Motto
As a logo, we wanted to unite the globality of the Marist educational work represented by the design of Champagnat Global, with the image that identifies the Hermitage and which, at this time of celebration of the bicentenary of its construction, has been the reason for meeting in the place that continues to be the rock on which our educational style is carved and the river that continues to be the source of life for our mission.
“Champagnat Global, a place where we all belong“
Is the motto with which the Marist global network of schools was born and it resonates with great relevance at this time when we gather, around our origins, as a global family, which feels united around the same identity.
Coordinators of mission and education from the different administrative units together with the Champagnat Global team met on the 28th November to share aspects of the previous work and the logistics involved in the meeting.
