America Sur region discusses education

From June 18 – 21, the third meeting of the network of schools in the America Sur region was held in Curitiba, Brazil. Its objective was to review its strategic plan, discuss new projects and activities, and present the data of each province that was participating: Brasil Centro-Norte, Brasil Sul-Amazonia, Brasil Centro-Sur, Cruz del Sur and Santa Maria de los Andes.

The Encounter was attended by the executive secretary of the America Sur region, Brother Natalino de Souza, and Rosângela Oliveira, from the bursars’ network of the America Sur region.

The first day of the meeting was more strategic. It resumed the strategic plan and presented the work agenda. On the second day, the participants visited the Ecological Marist Educational Center and the Anjo da Guarda Marist School, where they could learn about the Integral Time, Marist Languages and High School projects.
The representatives of each province worked on reviewing their action plan during the last two days of the meeting.

“It is an exchange of experiences, of processes, of actions, of several units and, also, of cultures, because we are working together with seven countries,” affirmed Deysiane Pontes, from the province of Brasil Centro-Norte. 

“These meetings allow us to exchange ideas and information, which are valuable in the construction of the plans and projects for the network of schools,” he continued.

At the end of the meeting, the participants defined the next steps of the network of schools as well as the evaluation of the processes. The next meeting will take place in October, in the province of Cruz del Sur.
