Highly esteemed:
Through this letter we invite you to participate in the VII Seminar of FORMATION OF EDUCATORS, organized by the Commission of Education of our Unions of General Men and Women Superiors.
We send you all the information related to the organization of the Seminar, and the registration form, so that you can organize with time.
OBJECTIVES AND TOPICS OF THE SEMINAR
- It is a seminar held annually in Rome for the Education Heads of the General Curia, the members of the General and Provincial Councils and the various national or regional authorities of our Educative Institutions who are interested.

- It is the project “DESIGN FOR CHANGE”, educational methodology that arises in India by the hand of Kiran Bir Sethi. Nowadays it is spread all over the world. This methodology is the basis of the project “LAUDATO SI”, driven decisively by Pope Francis as one of the most significant dynamisms that are in our hands to carry forward the “care of the common house”.
- One of the keys to our educational proposal is its transformative orientation. We educate for a better world, and to empower children and young people to be able to undertake that task. This is the key to our upcoming Seminar, which will be dedicated to the presentation of this important project.
- We will have the presence of members of the DESIGN FOR CHANGE and LAUDATO SI Coordinating Team. We will be accompanied by Bro.
