OIEC – GPEN REFORMATION THINK TANK
OIEC and GPEN (Global Pedagogical Network – https://www.gpenreformation.net/) have set up a think tank in which Catholics and Protestants discuss common issues regarding schools and Christian education. He works on a paper that allows Catholic and Protestant schools to work better together, and especially within international organizations.
A first document is “CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS AND THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION: A Contribution to UNESCO’s Commission on Future of Education” by the International Office of Catholic Education and the World Pedagogical Network – Joining in Reformation: OIEC-GPENR contribution
