VADEMECUM

LE LINEE GUIDA 

Cos’è il Patto Educativo Globale? Papa Francesco il 12 settembre 2019 ha lanciato «l’invito a dialogare sul modo in cui stiamo costruendo il futuro del pianeta e sulla necessità di investire i talenti di tutti, perché ogni cambiamento ha bisogno di un cammino educativo per far maturare una nuova solidarietà universale e una società più accogliente». Per questo scopo ha promosso l’iniziativa di un Patto Educativo Globale «per ravvivare l’impegno per e con le nuove generazioni, rinnovando la passione per un’educazione più aperta e inclusiva, capace di ascolto paziente, dialogo costruttivo e mutua comprensione». Si tratta di «unire gli sforzi in un’ampia alleanza educativa per formare persone mature, capaci di superare frammentazioni e contrapposizioni e ricostruire il tessuto di relazioni per un’umanità più fraterna».

MESSAGGIO di S. Em. il card. Versaldi, Prefetto della Congregazione 

Cari educatori, è urgente il bisogno di umanizzare l’educazione, mettendo al centro la persona e creando le condizioni necessarie per uno sviluppo integrale. Dando ai bambini e ai giovani una giusta autonomia e il necessario protagonismo sarà possibile che ognuno cresca interiormente, in mezzo ad una comunità viva, interdipendente e fraterna. Nella condivisione di un destino comune la complessità della realtà verrà letta attraverso le lenti di un nuovo Patto Educativo, che ci conduce a riscoprire la bellezza dell’umanesimo ispirato al Vangelo. In un contesto di difficoltà e polarizzazione, noi adulti dobbiamo fare un passo indietro, dire meno e ascoltare di più le esigenze dei ragazzi al fine di permettere ai loro talenti individuali di manifestarsi e fiorire liberamente. Qui si colloca il vero significato dell’inclusione, che “è parte integrante del messaggio salvifico cristiano” (Papa Francesco, Discorso ai partecipanti all’Assemblea Plenaria della Congregazione per l’Educazione Cattolica, 20 febbraio 2020). Educare è molto più che insegnare. In un processo tanto delicato quanto articolato si possono costruire progetti condivisi di cambiamento per trasformare concretamente i contesti reali. Diamo loro fiducia, senza timore… Ci sorprenderanno!

PRESENTAZIONE di S. E. Mons. Zani, Segretario della Congregazione

Questo vademecum è una guida preparata per attuare il Patto Educativo ed è destinato soprattutto agli educatori che hanno il compito di accompagnare i ragazzi e i giovani, attraverso percorsi formativi scolastici ed extrascolastici, formali ed informali, nella costruzione della casa comune. Papa Francesco da tempo insiste sulla necessità di investire i talenti di tutti per fare maturare una nuova solidarietà universale e una società più accogliente. Con i suoi numerosi messaggi, e soprattutto quello lanciato il 15 ottobre 2020, egli ha rinnovato l’invito a stringere un Patto Educativo che permetta di trovare la convergenza globale per un’educazione che sappia farsi portatrice di una alleanza tra tutte le componenti della persona: tra lo studio e la vita; tra le generazioni; tra i docenti, gli studenti, le famiglie e la società civile con le sue espressioni intellettuali, scientifiche, artistiche, sportive, politiche, imprenditoriali e solidali a sostegno delle giovani generazioni. Di fronte alla “catastrofe educativa”, provocata dalla pandemia, che ha aumentato un divario educativo già allarmante, non bastano ricette semplicistiche, ma occorre credere nel potere trasformante dell’educazione. Educare è scommettere e dare al presente la speranza che rompe i determinismi e i fatalismi; educare è sempre un atto di speranza che invita alla co-partecipazione e alla trasformazione della logica dell’indifferenza in una cultura dell’incontro e dell’inclusione. L’educazione deve aiutarci a costruire un futuro che non sia più segnato dalla divisione, dall’impoverimento delle facoltà di pensiero e di immaginazione, ma fondato sull’ascolto, sul dialogo e sulla mutua comprensione. Il vademecum riprende i sette obiettivi indicati da Papa Francesco, ognuno dei quali può diventare un percorso educativo da sviluppare attraverso le tappe della riflessione, della elaborazione di progetti rispondenti alle varie sfide locali e della loro attuazione concreta. Potranno nascere storie ed esperienze personali e comunitarie capaci di ispirare anche altri a condividerle e così intraprendere un processo di cambiamento, ispirato alla cultura della cura, all’ecologia integrale, alla costruzione della fraternità e della pace. Le esperienze potranno essere raccolte dalle Commissioni delle Conferenze Episcopali e inviate anche alla LUMSA. Occorre avere fiducia e investire nelle potenzialità dei giovani perché siano aiutati a guardare avanti insieme e con coraggio.

LOVE ALONE SATISFIES THE HUMAN HEART

 Pope at Mass for CCEE jubilee

Pope Francis celebrates Mass with the Council of Bishops’ Conferences of Europe, and encourages bishops to reflect on three words as they celebrate their golden jubilee: reflect, rebuild and see.

                                                                                                          By Francesca Merlo

 

In his homily at Mass with the Council of Bishops’ Conferences of Europe (CCEE) on Thursday, Pope Francis reflected on "three words that challenge us as Christians and Bishops in Europe: reflect, rebuild and see."

Bishops from across Europe are in Rome to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the CCEE with a plenary conference on 23-26 September.

Reflect

God, speaking through the Old Testament prophet Haggai, invites us to reflect on how we live our lives, said the Pope: Twice the prophet says to the people: “Reflect on your ways!” ( Hag 1:5.7). 

The Pope noted that those words, 'Reflect on your ways!', are challenging because in Europe today, "we Christians can be tempted to remain comfortably ensconced in our structures, our homes and our churches, in the security provided by our traditions, content with a certain degree of consensus, while all around us churches are emptying and Jesus is increasingly forgotten".

He asked the bishops and all those present to consider "how many people no longer hunger and thirst for God."

This is not because they are evil, he continued, but because there is "no one to awaken in them a hunger for faith and to satisfy that thirst in the human heart". Certainly, we are “preoccupied” by this, but are we really “occupied” with responding to it? asked the Pope.

There is no sense in judging those who do not believe, said the Pope. "Do we feel concern and compassion for those who have not had the joy of encountering Jesus or who have lost that joy?"

Through the prophet Haggai, the Lord asks his people to reflect on another thing, said the Pope, and this is charity. "Lack of charity causes unhappiness, because love alone satisfies the human heart," said the Pope. "The solution to problems and self-absorption is always that of gratuitous gift. There is no other. This is something to reflect on."

Rebuilding

“Build my house”, God says through the prophet (Hag 1:8), and the people rebuild the Temple, said the Pope, introducing the second word: rebuilding.

In order to build the European common house, we must "leave behind short-term expedience and return to the farsighted vision of the founding fathers, a prophetic vision of the whole", he said.

We must begin from the foundations, because that is where rebuilding starts: from the Church’s living tradition, which is based on "what is essential, the Good News, closeness and witness. We need to rebuild from her foundations the Church of every time and place, from worship of God and love of neighbour, and not from our own tastes."

"All rebuilding takes place together, in unity, with others," said the Pope. Rebuilding means becoming artisans of communion, weavers of unity at every level.

See

"If we rebuild in this way, we will enable our brothers and sisters to see," said the Pope. This is the third word: See. 

"So many people in Europe see the faith as déja vu, a relic of the past," said the Pope. This is because they have not seen Jesus at work in their own lives, he explained. Often this is because we, by our lives, have not sufficiently shown Him to them.

"They will not recognize the One who loves each of His sheep, calls them by name, and bears them on His shoulders. They will not see the One whose incredible passion we preach: for it is a consuming passion, a passion for mankind," said the Pope.

This divine, merciful and overpowering love, concluded the Pope "is itself the perennial newness of the Gospel and it demands of us, dear brothers, wise and bold decisions, made in the name of the mad love with which Christ has saved us."

THE GOVERNANCE IN LAY AGGREGATION

 

Authority and Responsibilities of Governance in Lay Aggregations:

 A service ordered to the common good

All the moderators and leaders of the movements of international associations before the Pope in the Vatican

  EN ES FR IT PT

On September 16, 2021, the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life summoned the moderators, presidents, and international leaders of all ecclesial movements, new communities, and associations recognized or erected by the Holy See to reflect on the theme “The responsibility of governance in lay aggregations. An ecclesial service”.

The core issue of the day was that of closely examining the themes included in the General Decree "The International Associations of the Faithful", with the aim of reflecting together on the exercise of authority in lay aggregations.

The Symposium, partially followed via videoconference because of the pandemic, took place in the New Synod Hall, with the participation of about 300 people who, in their various roles, share governance responsibilities in lay aggregations, as well as some of the Dicastery's members and consultants.

With great surprise, at 10:00 a.m. the Holy Father arrived in the Hall, addressing a heartfelt message to all those present and to those connected by videoconference. The Pope first of all expressed his gratitude to the institutions represented in the hall, for the evangelical witness they bear in the different circumstances of ordinary life.

Then, in his reflections on the theme of government as service, the Holy Father pointed out to the participants two obstacles that can arise when governing: "the desire for power", manifested in the "desire to be everywhere”, which undermines all forms of subsidiarity and makes those who govern believe they can make decisions regarding all aspects of the life of the association and the people who are part of it; and "disloyalty," typical of those who assume that they are the sole interpreters of the charism and, under the pretext of wanting to serve the Lord, serve only themselves. Therefore, continued the Holy Father, in order to carry out a role in governance, we must learn to consider ourselves as "unprofitable servants" (Lk 17:10), in order to remain humble and docile to God's will, just as Jesus showed us when he washed the disciples' feet.

When the Holy Father left the Hall, the Prefect of the Dicastery, Card. Farrell opened the session by immediately identifying "service" as the fundamental and indispensable aspect of the exercise of governance in ecclesial realities: service to the person, to the charism and to the mission of the Church. Moreover, Farrell stressed, such service can only be grasped in its ecclesial dimension. In this regard, he commented on the relationship between association governance and ecclesiastical authority, referring to the intrinsic and providential relationship that exists between charismatic and hierarchical gifts.

Then Msgr. Matteo Visioli, Undersecretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, took the floor. He focused his talk on the theological-ecclesiological foundation of the concept of authority in the Church, and highlighted its relational paradigm. He went on to formulate some of the consequences of exercising the Church's authority, in particular of its risks.

In the afternoon, Ms. Linda Ghisoni, Undersecretary for the Laity, structured her presentation in three parts: after an overview of the ecclesial realities affected by the Decree, the focal point of the meeting, she examined the transition from the charism of the founder to the collective charism. In this regard, the distinction made by Ms. Ghisoni between the charisms or personal gifts of the founder and the essential nucleus of the founding charism, which is destined to become collective and of which no one retains neither the imprint nor the ownership, was fundamental. In light of this distinction, it is clear that any personalization involves an attempt to appropriate a gift that is, from its origin, intended to be collective. Finally, in the last part of the speech, the Undersecretary of the Dicastery gave some practical indications on how to implement the mandates of government and the level of representativeness required by the General Decree.

Next, Eliana and Paolo Maino, founders of the Via Pacis Community and Don Stefano Aragno, Vice President of the Cenacolo Community, gave their testimonies.

The first to take the floor was Paolo Maino, who, having headed the Community he founded with his wife and Don Domenico Pincelli for 40 years, explained how he reached the decision to resign from the Presidency, a choice certainly not common for a young founder. And yet, reflecting in the presence of God, Paolo, together with Eliana, clearly saw that the Lord was asking something else of him: "leaving was necessary for the future of the Community". Today Paolo and Eliana ask themselves if this decision "was perhaps a turning point which God allowed so as to prompt an improvement of the Community itself".

Then came Don Aragno’s intervention that was particularly moving. He described the experience of "leaving" from a completely different point of view, since today it is he who has substituted its foundress, Mother Elvira, in the leadership of the Cenacolo Community. Don Aragno told us how the "step down" taken by Mother Elvira generated a greater awareness of the true protagonist of the history of the Cenacolo Community: the Holy Spirit, the source of the charism and the only founder. This awareness, said Don Aragno, matured precisely from that wise "detachment" from the personality of the foundress, which made all the members, especially those who belonged since the very beginning, more aware of the gift of grace received from God through her, and promoted a renewed and more authentic "yes" to the work to which the Lord called them.

The luncheon, served in the atrium of Paul VI Hall, was also a valuable opportunity for sharing, meeting and promoting dialog between the leaders of the associations and movements and the officials and superiors of the Dicastery.

The rest of the day was dedicated to questions and interventions from the participants.

To conclude the day, Card. Farrell revisited the highlights of the day's proceedings underlining the need for formation for all, and at all levels, in governance as well as service. Without a doubt, it was a very intense and enriching day, starting from the Holy Father’s words and thanks to an open sharing of the challenges and expectations common to all movements and associations in serving the Church.

IL PRIMATO DEL SERVIZIO - PRIMACY SERVICE - PRIMAUTE DU SERVICE - PRIMACIA DEL SERVICIO

-[AR - DE - EN - ES - IT - PL - PT]-

Papa Francesco:  Oggi la parola “servizio” appare un po’ sbiadita, logorata dall’uso. Ma nel Vangelo ha un significato preciso e concreto. Servire non è un’espressione di cortesia: è fare come Gesù, il quale, riassumendo in poche parole la sua vita, ha detto di essere venuto «non per farsi servire, ma per servire» (Mc 10,45). Così ha detto il Signore. Dunque, se vogliamo seguire Gesù, dobbiamo percorrere la via che Lui stesso ha tracciato, la via del servizio. La nostra fedeltà al Signore dipende dalla nostra disponibilità a servire. E questo, lo sappiamo, costa, perché “sa di croce”. Ma, mentre crescono la cura e la disponibilità verso gli altri, diventiamo più liberi dentro, più simili a Gesù. Più serviamo, più avvertiamo la presenza di Dio. Soprattutto quando serviamo chi non ha da restituirci, i poveri, abbracciandone le difficoltà e i bisogni con la tenera compassione: e lì scopriamo di essere a nostra volta amati e abbracciati da Dio.

Gesù, proprio per illustrare questo, dopo aver parlato del primato del servizio, compie un gesto. Abbiamo visto che i gesti di Gesù sono più forti delle parole che usa. E qual è il gesto? Prende un bambino e lo pone in mezzo ai discepoli, al centro, nel luogo più importante (cfr v. 36). Il bambino, nel Vangelo, non simboleggia tanto l’innocenza, quanto la piccolezza. Perché i piccoli, come i bambini, dipendono dagli altri, dai grandi, hanno bisogno di ricevere. Gesù abbraccia quel bambino e dice che chi accoglie un piccolo, un bambino, accoglie Lui (cfr v. 37). Ecco anzitutto chi servire: quanti hanno bisogno di ricevere e non hanno da restituire. Servire coloro che hanno bisogno di ricevere e non hanno da restituire. Accogliendo chi è ai margini, trascurato, accogliamo Gesù, perché Egli sta lì. E in un piccolo, in un povero che serviamo riceviamo anche noi l’abbraccio tenero di Dio.

 

Today, the word “service” appears a bit hackneyed, worn out by use. But it has a precise and concrete meaning in the Gospel. To serve is not a courteous expression: it means to act like Jesus, who, summing up his life in a few words, said he had come “not to be served, but to serve” (Mk 10:45). This is what the Lord said. Therefore, if we want to follow Jesus, we must follow the path he himself traced out, the path of service. Our fidelity to the Lord depends on our willingness to serve. And we know this often costs, because “it tastes like a cross”. But, as our care and availability toward others grows, we become freer inside, more like Jesus. The more we serve, the more we are aware of God’s presence. Above all, when we serve those who cannot give anything in return, the poor, embracing their difficulties and needs with tender compassion: and we in turn discover God’s love and embrace there.

After having spoken of the primacy of service, Jesus does something precisely to illustrate this. We have seen that Jesus’ actions are stronger than the words he uses. And what is that action? He takes a child and puts him in the midst of the disciples, at the center, in the most important place (cf. v. 36). In the Gospel, the child does not symbolize innocence so much as littleness. For like children, the little ones depend on others, on adults, they need to receive. Jesus embraces those children and says that those who welcome a little one, a child, welcome him (cf. v. 37). The ones who are to be served above all are: those in need of receiving who cannot give anything in return. To serve those who need to receive and cannot give anything in return. In welcoming those on the margins, the neglected, we welcome Jesus because He is there. And in the little one, in the poor person we serve, we also receive God’s tender embrace.

 

Hoy en día la palabra “servicio” parece un poco descolorida, desgastada por el uso. Pero en el Evangelio tiene un significado preciso y concreto. Servir no es una expresión de cortesía: es hacer como Jesús, que, resumiendo su vida en pocas palabras, dijo que había venido «no a ser servido, sino a servir» (Mc 10,45). Así dijo el Señor. Por eso, si queremos seguir a Jesús, debemos recorrer el camino que Él mismo ha trazado, el camino del servicio. Nuestra fidelidad al Señor depende de nuestra disponibilidad a servir. Y esto cuesta, lo sabemos, porque “sabe a cruz”. Pero a medida que crecemos en el cuidado y la disponibilidad hacia los demás, nos volvemos más libres por dentro, más parecidos a Jesús. Cuanto más servimos, más sentimos la presencia de Dios. Sobre todo cuando servimos a los que no tienen nada que devolvernos, los pobres, abrazando sus dificultades y necesidades con la tierna compasión: y ahí descubrimos que a su vez somos amados y abrazados por Dios.

Precisamente para ilustrarlo, Jesús después de haber hablado de la primacía del servicio, hace un gesto. Hemos visto que los gestos de Jesús son más fuertes que las palabras que usa. Y ¿cuál es el gesto? Toma un niño y lo coloca en medio de los discípulos, en el centro, en el lugar más importante (cf. v. 36). El niño, en el Evangelio, no simboliza tanto la inocencia como la pequeñez. Porque los pequeños, como los niños, dependen de los demás, de los adultos, necesitan recibir. Jesús abraza a ese niño y dice que quien recibe a un pequeño, a un niño, lo recibe a Él (cf. v. 37). Esto es, en primer lugar, a quién servir: a los que necesitan recibir y no tienen nada que devolver. Servir a los que necesitan recibir y no tienen para devolver. Acogiendo a los que están en los márgenes, desatendidos, acogemos a Jesús, porque Él está ahí. Y en un pequeño, en un pobre al que servimos, también nosotros recibimos el tierno abrazo de Dios.

 

Aujourd'hui, le mot "service" semble un peu fané, usé par l'usage. Mais dans l'Évangile, il a un sens précis et concret. Servir n'est pas une expression de courtoisie : c'est faire comme Jésus, qui, résumant sa vie en quelques mots, a dit qu'il était venu "non pour être servi mais pour servir" (Mc 10,45). C'est ce que le Seigneur a dit. C'est pourquoi, si nous voulons suivre Jésus, nous devons suivre le chemin qu'il a lui-même tracé, le chemin du service. Notre fidélité au Seigneur dépend de notre volonté de servir. Et c'est difficile, on le sait, parce que ça a "le goût de la croix". Mais à mesure que nous grandissons dans l'attention et la disponibilité envers les autres, nous devenons plus libres à l'intérieur, plus semblables à Jésus. Plus nous servons, plus nous ressentons la présence de Dieu. Surtout lorsque nous servons ceux qui n'ont rien à nous donner en retour, les pauvres, en embrassant leurs difficultés et leurs besoins avec une tendre compassion : et là, nous découvrons que nous sommes à notre tour aimés et embrassés par Dieu.

C'est précisément pour illustrer cela que Jésus, après avoir parlé de la primauté du service, fait un geste. Nous avons vu que les gestes de Jésus sont plus forts que les mots qu'il utilise. Et quel est ce geste ? Il prend un enfant et le place au milieu des disciples, au centre, à la place la plus importante (cf. v. 36). L'enfant, dans l'Évangile, ne symbolise pas tant l'innocence que la petitesse. Parce que les petits, comme les enfants, dépendent des autres, des adultes, ils ont besoin de recevoir. Jésus embrasse cet enfant et dit que celui qui reçoit un petit, un enfant, le reçoit Lui (cf. v. 37). Il s'agit avant tout de savoir qui servir : ceux qui ont besoin de recevoir et n'ont rien à donner en retour. Servir ceux qui ont besoin de recevoir et n'ont rien à donner en retour. En accueillant ceux qui sont en marge, délaissés, nous accueillons Jésus, car il est là. Et dans un petit, dans un pauvre que nous servons, nous aussi nous recevons la tendre étreinte de Dieu.

TEACHER VOICES FROM THE CARRIBEAN

 

Distance Learning and Teacher Training Strategies in the Caribbean SIDS

In response to the disruption of the Caribbean education system, UNESCO, Blackboard and the Caribbean Centre for Educational Planning (CCEP) at the University of the West Indies launched the Education response to Covid-19: Distance Learning and Teacher Training Strategies in the Caribbean SIDS  in January 2021 with the aim to train 10 000 teachers in the Caribbean SIDS in the use of online education tools, resources and interactive platforms to effectively engage students through online learning. 

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, distance education has been a challenge for many teachers. Reasons include poor or no connectivity, lack of access to devices and online educational resources, and the challenge of moving quickly from the traditional classroom to an online environment. 

Through UNESCO's Global Education Coalition, a multi-sectoral education coalition to protect the right to education during COVID-19, this programme is made possible with financial support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). With the support of UNICEF Jamaica, 6000 teachers can be trained in Jamaica.

The programme builds on the experience of the 2020 pilot initiative to enhance the capacity of teacher trainers, teachers and education leaders in digital literacy and blended learning solutions through a coordinated regional approach to develop, deliver and maintain quality online learning resources. 

In 2020, UNESCO and Blackboard trained 90 teachers in online skills development for distance education in Caribbean SIDS through the pilot project "Professional Development for Teachers for Blended Learning and Online Strategies".  In an intensive four-week online training course led by Blackboard, teachers acquired digital literacy competencies in basic computer skills and online tools and methods, and were trained in the blended modality, which includes face-to-face teaching. 

After successful completion of the course, the teachers were certified as "master trainers". This enables them to use distance learning methods to provide quality and inclusive education to their students.  40 of these master trainers from the pilot project are leading the Distance Learning and Teacher Training Strategies in the Caribbean SIDS to strengthen professional capacity for online teaching of teachers in the Caribbean in three cohorts from June to November 2021. 

The teacher training has a particular focus on methods to ensure that the most vulnerable girls, boys and adolescents are not left behind in their learning and that possible gender differences are taken into account in distance learning opportunities.

 Papa Francisc vorbește despre necesitatea unei „revoluții” atunci când se pune problema prevenirii schimbării climatice, cf. https://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/18/world/pope-francis-climate-technology-encyclical/index.html. De unde începe aceasta? Cu ce instrumente? Cine își va asuma un rol activ în acest proces fundamental?... sunt întrebări cheie.

În luna august 2021, la invitația Asociației ART Fusion - https://artfusion.ro/, coordonatori în cadrul unui proiect european destinat cadrelor didactice pentru formarea acestora pe tema schimbărilor climatice, mai mulți profesori din toată țara au participat la două sesiuni de formare despre educația globală.

Procesul de recrutare al participanților a urmărit găsirea profesorilor implicați în educația nonformală, care, la finalul întregii formări, vara anului 2022, se vor implica activ în realizarea de ore la clasă pe teme de educație ecologică, cetățenie globală, schimbări climatice, ce vor conduce la constituirea de școli „verzi”, unde se colectează selectiv, în armonie cu mediul.

Prima parte a formării, august 2021, s-a petrecut în orașul Sinaia, la munte, în centrul României, unde pe parcursul atelierelor practice, noi participanții ne-am familiarizat cu obiectivele și resursele cursului și ne-am formulat noi înșine propriile obiective, în concordanță cu Agenda 2030 pentru dezvoltare durabilă.

Activitățile de formare au constat din: seminarii, prezentări, discuții și dezbateri, jocuri de rol și completarea de chestionare. Temele cele mai importante au fost: stil de viață sustenabil, amprenta de carbon, consumator responsabil, exigența calității, impactul asupra mediului și măsurarea acestuia, toate sub mottto-ul World’s Future in Your Actions/Viitorul prin acțiune.

S-a creat un grup care își propune să facă schimbări, cu propuneri la nivel individual și global, de școală și în societate. Cele 10 porunci ale papei Francisc - https://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/18/world/pope-10-commandments-climate-change/index.html - sunt și rămân un ghid al atitudinii față se semeni și față de mediu. Porunca numărul 9. Educă-te pe tine este începutul unui parcurs care se va răsfrânge prin noi și elevii pe care îi formăm asupra a ceea ce numim viitor.

 Educazione globale. Cittadino globale. Educatore globale.

 Papa Francesco parla della necessità di una "rivoluzione" quando si tratta di prevenire il cambiamento climatico, cfr https://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/18/world/pope-francis-climate-technology-encyclical/index .html. Dove inizia questo? Con quali strumenti? Chi avrà un ruolo attivo in questo fondamentale processo?...queste sono le domande chiave.

Nell'agosto 2021, su invito dell'Associazione ART Fusion Bucarest - https://artfusion.ro/, coordinatori di un progetto europeo per insegnanti per la loro formazione sui cambiamenti climatici, diversi insegnanti provenienti da tutto il paese hanno partecipato a due sessioni di formazione sul tema globale formazione scolastica.

Il processo di reclutamento dei partecipanti mirava a trovare insegnanti coinvolti nell'educazione non formale, che, al termine dell'intera formazione, nell'estate del 2022, saranno attivamente coinvolti nello svolgimento di lezioni in aula su educazione ambientale, cittadinanza globale, cambiamento climatico , che porterà alla creazione di scuole "verdi", dove vengono raccolte in modo selettivo, in armonia con l'ambiente.

La prima parte della formazione, agosto 2021, si è svolta nella città di Sinaia, in montagna, nel centro della Romania, dove durante i workshop pratici, noi partecipanti abbiamo familiarizzato con gli obiettivi e le risorse del corso e abbiamo formulato i nostri obiettivi , in linea con l'Agenda 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile.

Le attività di formazione sono consistite in: seminari, presentazioni, discussioni e dibattiti, giochi di ruolo e compilazione di questionari. Gli argomenti più importanti sono stati: stile di vita sostenibile, impronta di carbonio, consumatore responsabile, requisiti di qualità, impatto ambientale e sua misurazione, il tutto all'insegna del motto World's Future in Your Actions.

È stato creato un gruppo che mira a fare cambiamenti, con proposte a livello individuale e globale, a scuola e nella società. I 10 comandamenti di Papa Francesco - https://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/18/world/pope-10-commandments-climate-change/index.html - sono e rimangono una guida all'atteggiamento verso la somiglianza e rispetto all'ambiente. Comandamento numero 9. Educa te stesso è l'inizio di un cammino che si rifletterà in noi e negli studenti che formiamo su quello che chiamiamo futuro.

           

 Global education. Global citizen.       Global educator.

 Pope Francis talks about the need for a "revolution" when it comes to preventing climate change, cf. https://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/18/world/pope-francis-climate-technology-encyclical/index. html. Where does this start? With what tools? Who will take an active role in this fundamental process? ... these are key questions.

In August 2021, at the invitation of the ART Fusion Association Bucharest - https://artfusion.ro/, coordinators within a European project for teachers for their training on climate change, several teachers from all over the country participated in two training sessions about global education.

The recruitment process of the participants aimed to find teachers involved in non-formal education, who, at the end of the entire training, in the summer of 2022, will be actively involved in teaching classes on environmental education, global citizenship, climate change, which will lead when setting up "green" schools, where they are collected selectively, in harmony with the environment.

The first part of the training, August 2021, took place in the city of Sinaia, in the mountains, in central Romania, where during the practical workshops, we participants became familiar with the objectives and resources of the course and we formulated our own objectives, accordingly with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The training activities consisted of seminars, presentations, discussions and debates, role plays and completion of questionnaires. The most important topics were sustainable lifestyle, carbon footprint, responsible consumer, quality requirements, environmental impact and its measurement, all under the motto World’s Future in Your Actions.

A group has been created that aims to make changes, with proposals at individual and global level, at school and in society. The 10 commandments of Pope Francis - https://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/18/world/pope-10-commandments-climate-change/index.html - are and remain a guide to the attitude towards resemblance and compared to the environment. Commandment number 9. Educate yourself is the beginning of a journey that will be reflected in us and the students we form on what we call the future.

 L'éducation globale. Citoyen global. Éducateur mondial.

 Le pape François parle de la nécessité d'une « révolution » lorsqu'il s'agit de prévenir le changement climatique, cf. https://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/18/world/pope-francis-climate-technology-encyclical/index .html. Où cela commence-t-il ? Avec quels outils ? Qui jouera un rôle actif dans ce processus fondamental ?... telles sont les questions clés.

En août 2021, à l'invitation de l'association ART Fusion Bucharest - https://artfusion.ro/, coordinateurs au sein d'un projet européen d'enseignants pour leur formation sur le changement climatique, plusieurs enseignants de tout le pays ont participé à deux sessions de formation sur la globalité éducation.

Le processus de recrutement des participants visait à trouver des enseignants impliqués dans l'éducation non formelle, qui, à la fin de l'ensemble de la formation, à l'été 2022, seront activement impliqués dans la conduite de cours en classe sur l'éducation environnementale, la citoyenneté mondiale, le changement climatique, qui conduira à la mise en place d'écoles « vertes », où elles sont collectées de manière sélective, en harmonie avec l'environnement.

La première partie de la formation, août 2021, s'est déroulée dans la ville de Sinaia, dans les montagnes, dans le centre de la Roumanie, où au cours des ateliers pratiques, nous, les participants, nous sommes familiarisés avec les objectifs et les ressources du cours et avons formulé nos propres objectifs, conformément au Programme de développement durable à l'horizon 2030.

Les activités de formation consistaient en : séminaires, présentations, discussions et débats, jeux de rôle et remplissage de questionnaires. Les sujets les plus importants étaient : mode de vie durable, empreinte carbone, consommation responsable, exigences de qualité, impact environnemental et sa mesure, le tout sous la devise L'avenir du monde dans vos actions.

Un groupe a été créé qui vise à apporter des changements, avec des propositions au niveau individuel et global, à l'école et dans la société. Les 10 commandements du Pape François - https://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/18/world/pope-10-commandments-climate-change/index.html - sont et restent un guide de l'attitude envers la ressemblance et par rapport à l'environnement. Commandement numéro 9. S'instruire est le début d'un voyage qui se reflétera en nous et les élèves que nous formons sur ce que nous appelons l'avenir.
