When you bring together education professionals to share past and present, and have moments to look up and discern the future, suggestive things always happen. If you also add that this group of people not only bring their personal and professional reality, but are accompanied by a special sensitivity and concern for their colleagues, teams and students, what happens is colored by a desire for proximity and sincere support. to them. And if you add to all this that these people from different places and realities share dreams and deep vocation “for them” (boys, girls and young people), something magical emerges, the Piarist thing emerges!

The Pedagogical Teams of the provinces of Betania, Catalonia and Emmaus met in Gaztambide (Madrid) on November 21-22, accompanied by the General Assistant for Europe, Carles Gil i Saguer, and a server, mainly to:

  • Present the pedagogical reality of the provinces.
  • Become aware of common challenges.
  • And explore possible collaborations.

In a relaxed and close environment, we have confirmed the value of adding to consolidate our Piarist pedagogical project in the next decade.

We continue walking, in the light of what happened in Trastevere, with the desire that “they and they” can fully develop in each of our presences and realities.
