2nd Champagnat Global face-to-face meeting

The 2nd face-to-face meeting of Champagnat Global will take place at L’Hermitage (France) from 7 to 11 March 2025.

A group of around 150 participants will be made up of representatives of the General Government, the Champagnat Global 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).

Objectives

This meeting is especially intended 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 network.

It will also be very important:

• 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 Marist school’s response to the challenges facing the future of the planet and humanity.

Continue to collaboratively develop the Champagnat Global journey.

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.

“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.
