What is the goal of the Jesuit.Network website?

The Jesuit.Network website is a space for the promotion and dissemination of the networking efforts of the Society of Jesus at the regional and global levels. It aims to give visibility to all international networks linked to the Society’s mission and to encourage the dissemination of information and joint work opportunities among all those interested in the world of networks and collaboration in the Mission.

As a network leader, what will I be able to do on this website?

On this website, network leaders will be able to: (1) display their network’s contact information, logo, mission, and website so that it is visible and searchable by anyone looking for information on your network’s sector, region or type of work (2) promote and share news about your network and collaboration efforts that will reach more than 8,000 subscribers (people interested in collaboration & networking) through our monthly newsletter, (3) share collaboration proposals and engage with other networking experts, thus increasing new joint initiatives or the number of collaborators with your network.

As a collaborator, what will I be able to do through this website?

As a collaborator in the mission, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the current networking and collaboration efforts of the Society of Jesus at the regional and global levels, and participate in collaboration proposals by signing up to receive updates and further information from network leaders.

As a network leader, what type of news stories should I publish?

Our audience are those who are passionate about networking and creating cultures of collaboration at the service of the Jesuit mission. Keep this in mind when you send us a story! We encourage you to publish stories that reflect on the potential of networks for the Mission of the Society of Jesus, lessons learned from collaborating, challenges you’ve faced when networking, activities or events of special importance, and anything that can help contribute to creating a community of thought leaders on the power of networks and the Jesuit Mission, etc.

As a network leader, what type of collaboration proposals should I promote?

The collaboration proposals section showcases calls to action, opportunities for people to engage directly with the networks of the Society of Jesus. For example: volunteer proposals, suggestions of participation in campaigns, possible common actions with other networks, webinars and events, suggestions of joint work opportunities, specific needs that networks might have.

How is Jesuit.Network different from other international Jesuit websites?

Our focus is on collaboration and networks. We invite all those interested in sharing and building on lessons learned from collaborative efforts in order to support stronger network structures that will lead to greater impact and efficiency. This site seeks to generate a community of experts and thought leaders who seek to reflect on how to collaborate better, because we believe that together we can strengthen the “wirearchy” of the Society of Jesus.
