« Project Reflections » – PUCRS reinforces the identity of Marist pedagogy
From 31 May to 2 June, PUCRS organised the 15th edition of the « Project Reflections » at Bento Golçalves. Devoted to strengthening formation in Marist spirituality and pedagogy, the occasion brought together a group of 146 persons who took part in the conferences and debates on the mission and values of the University, became familiar with the Marist heritage and identity of Saint Marcellin Champagnat and participated in an eucharistic celebration.
Initiated in 2000, the « Project Reflections » forms part of the institutional plan of the « Pontificia Universitade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul » (Catholic University), which takes into account the need for the ongoing qualification of its teachers and administrative techicians. The fundamental reason for its existence resides in the functions of higher education, teaching, research, the community activities which need to be exercised, and especially in the commitment of all the persons concerned.
