The International Commission on the Apostolate of Jesuit Education (ICAJE) Panel
“It is as a worldwide community – and, simultaneously, as a network of local communities – that we seek to serve others across the world.” (G.C. 35, Decree 2, 20)
We will begin the ICJSE by taking the time to come to know one another through a panel discussion. Without having a better understanding of the global network, collaborative efforts will be more challenging. Brief presentations from each ICAJE member will include a short report on the state of Jesuit education in each region. Panel members will share basic statistics about the region, educational strengths of the region, the main educational challenges of the region, and current projects from the region.
“G.C. 35 and the Mission”
Curia Secretariats Panel
The Curia Secretariats Panel will be composed of four secretaries leading the following apostolic sectors: Promotion of Faith, Collaboration with Others, Social Justice and Ecology, and Higher Education.
The purpose of this session is for each secretary to share his perspectives on the challenges that lie ahead for the Jesuit schools in our present global context and to propose how our school leaders can go about meeting those challenges. This presentation aims to help the schools’ leadership frame the Colloquium within the broader picture of the Society’s mission today.
This session will also allow each secretary to share his reflections on General Congregation 35 as it relates to the Jesuit mission in our schools and educational institutions. After all the secretaries have given their presentations, there will be time allocated for questions and answers.
Collaboration Sessions
The Collaboration Sessions will be a flexible meeting time for participants to meet with one another and discuss issues of interest, exchange contact information, and explore collaboration ideas. The session will provide an opportunity for personal networking interests that arise during the ICJSE. For example, this could be time for two participants to discuss the creation of a partnership. The session may also serve as an opportunity for further group discussions regarding topics that have arisen during the ICJSE and warrant further attention. These “topics,” should they arise, will be posted with a room number and facilitator. This time can also be used for members of the network to connect on issues not necessarily pertaining to the ICJSE. Perhaps participants from the same region would like to discuss an issue only relevant to their region.
Regional Discussions and “Ite Inflammate Omnia“
The purpose of the Regional Discussion session is to review, discuss and solicit feedback from participants that will help provide direction for our continued collaborative efforts – after all, the success of our gathering will very much be measured by our future work together as a network! Participants will be grouped according to ICAJE regions and will be lead by regional ICAJE members. The overall benefits of our time together, the vision we have as a network, and the possibility of a future gathering of Jesuit secondary schools will all be discussed during Regional Gatherings. The ICJSE Steering Committee has begun planning a vision statement for how we hope to proceed as a global network, and regional gatherings will ensure that the voice of each region is truly heard before a final vision statement is produced.
During the “Ite Inflammate Omnia” session, ICAJE members will share with the entire ICJSE audience suggestions, feedback, and hopes for the future direction of our network as discussed by each region during their separate gatherings.
