On 28 April 2022, more than 80 participants mostly from our European and Near East network joined together online to embark on the safeguarding journey. Led by Ms Tina Campbel, , Assistant Coordinator for Promotion of Consistent Culture of Protection (PCCP) at Jesuit Social Justice and Ecology Secretariat Curia Generalizia SJ, we reflect on what we need in this journey and what its destination really is.

“The Safeguarding Journey: finding our destination” Web seminar was organized by the The Jesuit European Committee for Primary and Secondary Education (JECSE) and Zentrum für Ignatianische Pädagogik (ZIP), as a part of the wider program of support on the protection of minors we offer to our schools.

At the beginning of the meeting Fr. Stefano Corticelli SJ form Alabnia, lead us in a beautiful prayer from his school chapel. Ms Campbell then share with us her exceptional reflections, helping us to see at which stage of the safeguarding process each of us is, what we need next on this journey, which adhesive steps we would do well to consider. In this way she encouraged us to deepen our individual reflection, the fruits of which we shared in the small group session. The meeting ended with a plenary session of sharing and questions to our lecturer.

It was a very inspiring and developing two hours of meetings. We will continue our journey with the topic of the protection of minors in the coming months in prepared workshops and online seminars.
