South America Region
Members of the communication Team of the five Administrative Units of the Region of South America met in Puerto Alegre (Brazil) on November 19 and 20. Besides, the Team of communication, the Executive Secretary of the Region, Br. Alberto Aparicio, and the representative of the Regional Committee, Marcelo Cordeiro, were also present.
During two days, the advance or progress on the proposal of regional alignment of the canonical institutional dates was discussed. This project foresees a joint creation of priority messages for seven religious institutional dates. The objective of the initiative is to strengthen one of the premises of the Region of South America that seeks to generate a sense of regional belonging to the Administrative Units of the seven member countries.
In the same way, the advance exposed by the Regional Council was discussed as well as the organization of the initiatives that will be taken into account for approbation in the next Regional Assembly that will take place in April of next year.
For the Executive Secretary of the Region, Br. Alberto Aparicio, the two days of dialogue provided a broader reflection, on Regional communication, which – according to his opinion, goes beyond the demands of functioning and shows the strategic perception that the Team seeks in the development of every Project. “I have seen the importance of the collective construction when one thinks on the impact of communication, not only for the Region, but also for the Marist world”, he mentioned and stressed it, “The whole Team reflects together, aligns proposals, suggestions and concerns”.
Something on the Region of South America
Internationality is a premise, which, every times, is strengthened more in the Marist Institute. To promote the continuity and sustainability of the mission to educate and to evangelize, our work advances every time, in a more global way. It is with this perspective that in 2016, the Region of South America was founded, which unites the five Administrative Units present in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.
