The meeting of the education coordinators representing each administrative unit in Champagnat Global took place on 21 May. The aim of the meeting was to get to know and talk about the activities that are being carried out according to the operational project of the network for 2024 and also to share through a group dynamic on how Champagnat Global is developing in our environments.
Br. Luis Carlos, Vicar General, took the opportunity to greet and encourage the group. He made special mention of the MIMA III assembly held last April at El Escorial (Madrid, Spain), which “helped us to think about the future of the Marist mission”.
Br. José Sánchez (Pepe), Director of the Secretariat of Education and Evangelisation, introduced the meeting by sharing the priorities that emerged from the MIMA III mission assembly:
- Quality Marist education.
- Promote and protect the rights of children and young people.
- Nurturing Marist spirituality.
- Promote the participation of children and young people through active listening spaces.
- Care for family relationships to nurture the lives of children and young people.
- Care for our common home.
- Care for mental health and well-being.
Before concluding the meeting, information was given about the next face-to-face meeting of Champagnat Global which will take place from 7 to 11 March 2025 at L’Hermitage (France) which will be composed especially of a large number of principals from our schools.
Finally, the team of coordinators was invited to collaborate in the dissemination of the next webinar on the occasion of the celebration of the feast of Champagnat which will take place on the 12th June and which on this occasion will be the new document of the Educational Mission: In the Footsteps of Marcellin Champagnat.
Marist to the world! Building the future; building the world.
