CCIC-UNESCO - EDUCATION A LA SEXUALITE

Centre Catholique International de Coopération avec l’UNESCO

« Principes directeurs internationaux sur l'éducation à la sexualité»

Analyse et contribution du CCIC

Considérant d'une part les missions de l'UNESCO et d’autre part les principes de collaboration du CCIC avec l’UNESCO, un groupe de travail constitué d’ONG d’inspiration catholique membres de la plateforme, et d’ONG amies a pris l’initiative d’étudier ce document présenté par l’UNESCO en mars 2018 (version française en décembre.)

Ce groupe de travail s'est accordé sur le texte suivant composé de réactions et de recommandations, plus particulièrement destinées aux membres du CCIC, après avoir adressé un texte spécifique au secteur concerné de l'UNESCO et un autre au Forum des ONG d'inspiration catholique de Rome.

L’Education et tout spécialement l'éducation intégrale de la personne dispensée entre autres dans les établissements catholiques d'enseignement a un grand rôle à jouer pour atteindre une perception équilibrée des hommes et des femmes dans une société inclusive.

Car respecter les jeunes, c’est les considérer dans toutes les dimensions de leur personne : physique, affective, intellectuelle, sociale et spirituelle. La sexualité exprime toutes ces dimensions. En application du principe de subsidiarité, elle doit donc être l'objet d'une première éducation informelle au sein de la cellule familiale de la part des parents et être secondée ensuite par une éducation formelle, présentée aux parents dans le cadre scolaire.

Cette éducation a aussi un rôle important pour faire prendre conscience que femmes et hommes, garçons et filles, assurent des fonctions dont l’importance et la valeur sont égales. Les différentes cultures attribuent traditionnellement aux filles et aux garçons certains rôles différenciés. Il est intéressant de les questionner pour en évaluer la pertinence selon différents domaines (éducation, métiers, partage des tâches, droits, transmission de la vie...). Ce questionnement ne saurait occulter la diversité biologique entre féminin et masculin. Le discernement est essentiel pour éviter d'entrer dans une instrumentalisation idéologique et politique du concept de genre, afin de formuler de nouvelles normes.......

POPE TO PARENTS: WORK TOGETHER WITH SCHOOLS

 EN - FR - D - IT

Pope Francis in the Paul VI hall on Friday greets members of the Italian Parents Association which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

The Italian Parents Association works to support parents in their commitment to family and education according to the principles of Christian ethics.

Parents and education

Praising the Association’s work with reference to the education of children at school, Pope Francis noted the alliance between families and the school system. But he also highlighted that at times this partnership is talked about as being under threat, such as, the family not appreciating the work of teachers, and schools feeling the invasive influence of parents.

To change this situation, the Pope said, “someone must take the first step”, so that trust can be nurtured.

He stressed that without schools and teachers, parents ran the risk of being alone in their “educational activity and being less able to face the new educational challenges that come from contemporary culture, from society, from mass media, from new technologies.”

Communication and collaboration

Referring to his Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, the Pope pointed out, "school is not a substitute for parents but is complementary to them.” Therefore, he continued, in school education, collaboration between the various components of the educational community must never be lacking. Without frequent communication and without mutual trust, a community is not built and without a community it is not possible to educate.”

Reinforcing the aspect of collaboration between parents and educators, Pope Francis, recounted a story from his childhood, telling those present that after talking back to his teacher, his mother was called and arrived at the school. Then in front of the teacher his mother told him to apologize, which he did. Pope Francis said, he thought the episode was finished and done with, but his mother had other ideas when he got home.

Pope Francis also commented that it was the task of the Church to help eliminate the educational isolation that families can feel, adding that the Church community was a place where parents could come to receive trust and support.

Concluding his words, Pope Francis told the parents gathered that children “are the most precious gift you have received,” noting that it was their commitment and generosity that would help their children grow in faith and character.

ALLEANZA EDUCATIVA SCUOLA FAMIGLIA - EDUCATIONAL ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND THE FAMILY

PATTO SCUOLA-FAMIGLIA. CHE FINE HA FATTO?

 

Pope Francis: " ..... And here we come to the second point, that is, to the educational alliance between the school and the family. We all know that this alliance has long been in crisis, and in some cases completely broken. Once upon a time there was significant mutual reinforcement between the stimuli given by teachers and those given by parents. Today the situation has changed, but we can not be nostalgic for the past. We must take note of the changes that have affected both the family and the school, and renew the commitment to constructive collaboration or rather, rebuild the alliance and the educational pact for the benefit of children and young people. And since this synergy no longer occurs in a “natural” way, it must be promoted in terms of planning, also with the contribution of experts in the pedagogical field. But first we must encourage a new “complicity”

I am conscious in my use of this word, a new complicity between teachers and parents. First of all, by avoiding thinking of each other as opposing fronts, blaming each other, but on the contrary putting ourselves in the shoes of each other, understanding the objective difficulties that each encounters in education today, and thus creating greater solidarity: complicity in solidarity....

Perché i genitori picchiano, sempre più spesso, i docenti dei loro figli? La domanda, se posta anche solo pochi anni fa, avrebbe lasciato allibiti. Oggi sorge spontanea, leggendo le cronache dei giornali. Ormai non passa quasi settimana senza che un insegnante venga aggredito, da un padre, da un marito e una moglie insieme, o direttamente dagli alunni, evidentemente sicuri dell’appoggio delle famiglie. Soltanto in questi pochi mesi del 2018 si contano ben ventiquattro episodi di violenza su maestri e professori.

Fare il docente è diventato un mestiere pericoloso che presto richiederà, se le cose continuano ad andare così, corsi di addestramento all'autodifesa.

Che cosa è successo? La risposta non può non tener conto del crescente isolamento della figura dell’insegnante, in una società che non gli ha mai riconosciuto dignità sul piano retributivo, ma che ora, a differenza che in passato, non gliene attribuisce più neppure su quello del prestigio sociale e culturale. Fino a cinquant'anni fa il lavoro di educatore era pagato poco, ma era rispettato. Oggi non è più così.

C’è stato il Sessantotto, con la contestazione dei “maestri”, che ha travolto, insieme ad indubbie forme di autoritarismo, anche la loro autorità. Probabilmente ha inciso anche la crisi del concetto di “missione”, percepito a un certo punto come un alibi retorico per giustificare i bassi stipendi dei professori, con la conseguente crisi di motivazione di tanti la cui passione educativa si fondava su una visione idealizzata della scuola.

Soprattutto, è cambiata la percezione comune del rapporto tra denaro e valore sociale: in passato il primo non era la misura del secondo; nell'Italia del nostro tempo lo è diventato. Chi guadagna poco è, in fondo, un fallito.

È con questo atteggiamento di sottile disprezzo che molti si rapportano alla classe docente, e non c’è da meravigliarsi se, consciamente o inconsciamente, lo trasmettono ai loro figli.

Ma gli episodi di violenza non ci parlano solo del declino della scuola: essi sono lo specchio allarmante di una famiglia sempre più caratterizzata dall’incapacità, da parte di genitori insicuri e iperprotettivi, di far valere la loro funzione educativa, perché troppo timorosi dei conflitti che un esercizio reale della loro autorità genitoriale potrebbe determinare. Alla base c’è una grande fragilità degli adulti. Ormai, ….

SNOWPLOUGH PARENTS risk children unable to cope with failure, says head

“Snowplough” parents are so over-protective of their offspring that the children end up unable to deal with failure, a headteacher at a leading London all-girls school has reportedly warned.

There are parents who have such high aspirations that they are frightened of an occasion when their child may come second, Clarissa Farr, headmistress of St Paul’s girls’ school in London is said to have told a workshop at the Girls’ Schools Association conference this week.

“Their children will succeed above all and they’re not at all on board with the idea of school as a community, learning to come second or that learning to give ground is an important part of education,” she said, according to The Times.

Farr also noted that some parents expect a “specific and bespoke” service from their school, and said expectations have increased.

She said: “Something that shocked me quite a lot and I’ve seen it more in the last few years, is the naked impatience with the idea of putting other people first that you see coming from parents.”

Referring to the over-protective nature of some parents Farr said: “Snowplough parents is a great description: clearing everything away in front of the child so that nothing can go wrong, self-esteem valued above all other attributes, anything that might threaten self-esteem must be moved to the side.”
