MARIST COURSE ON GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

We are a Global Marist Family that lives up to our name with formation processes in schools that enhance learning to be (develop a well-rounded personality, autonomy, potential) and learning to live together(1). Using the paradigms of integral ecology, human rights and intercultural living, we want to provide pathways towards socio-emotional competences and critical environmental and social awareness.

(1) The Marist document on Education, In the Footsteps of Marcellin Champagnat, in Ch 6 on Schools, adopted the Report to UNESCO of the International Commission for Education in the 21st Century, Learning: The Treasure Within (1996). These are the third and fourth pillars.
