The Secretariat wants to share this tool with the entire Global Education Network, so that educators, management teams and Delegates can read, re-read and deepen our understanding of the rich message which Fr.

We hope that this material can help us all to help us all to continue generously constructing the global network which allows us to develop our dream of ‘a universal body with a universal mission, as is expressed in the final agreements of the congress”.
