Understand the 7 objectives

of the Global Compact on Education

In order to continue promoting knowledge and expansion of the objectives proposed by Pope Francis to achieve a Global Compact on Education, posters have been designed with illustrations that help us to know, understand and deepen the meaning, significance and scope of these objectives. The aim is to reach all ages, from the youngest to the oldest, in our educational and social contexts. We are all called upon to achieve and live these goals in all the places where we live.

PUBLICATION

Learning with others

The OIEC is pleased to be able to share with you this new book: “Learning from others: BUILDING THE TERRITORY’S EDUCATIONAL PACT. The experience of the Norte de Santander region (Colombia)”, which we coordinated and published.

In response to Pope Francis’ invitation to build together a global pact for education, thisbook offers clear guidelines to help weave the educational pact from the territory (village, neighborhood, city or region). Involve and mobilize the various educational and social sectors to generate this local alliance with a global opening.

EXhibition

Laudate deum

On Wednesday 4 October, Pope Francis published a new apostolic exhortation on ecology, “Laudate Deum”, eight years after his encyclical “Laudato si'”. A few months ahead of COP 28, he renews his cry for the safeguarding of Creation and launches an appeal to Christians, leaders and “all people of good will on the climate crisis”.

To encourage educational communities to discuss this exhortation by Pope Francis, the OIEC has put together an exhibition of 16 panels presenting carefully selected passages from the encyclical, illustrated with photos.
