America Sur Region

The America Sur Region communications working group met in Curitiba, Brazil on August 28. The agenda for this meeting was to evaluate the development of the communication plan, discuss the support needed for joint actions and update the regional guidelines that will be presented to the Regional Committee meeting to be held in Paraguay from September 23 to 26.

Notable among the topics addressed was the exchange of communication initiatives developed in each of the five Provinces of the Region. Similarly, specific recommendations were proposed advising on other strategic initiatives which could strengthen regional action.

The presence of new members from the Marist provinces Brazil Centro-Sur and Cruz del Sur has contributed to the strengthening of the working group. Lorena de Oliveira Mendes, Communication Director of the Marist Union of Brazil (UMBRASIL), was also present on this occasion.
