After two years of pandemic, many of the international networks are taking the opportunity to resume the rhythm of meetings for the coordination and collective construction of strategies and collaborations at the international level. This is why these coming months are full of global meetings in the field of Jesuit networks. We wanted to summarize here some of them. If you have any other suggestions for meetings that we have missed, do not hesitate to write to [email protected] so that we can incorporate them into this article.
The 10th Congress of the World Union of Jesuit Alumni (WUJA) will be held in Barcelona (Spain) in July 2022 at the Jesuïtes Sarrià – Sant Ignasi school in the Catalan capital. This meeting seeks to bring together people from all continents to face the great global challenges and discuss how to do so and what tools to use to achieve these goals. Father General, Arturo Sosa SJ, will participate in the event and will give a presentation on the Ignatian framework for the topics to be discussed. The congress programme is structured around three pillars: inspiration to find solutions to the problems that affect us, a two-year process of work to select the topics of interest, and a structure that takes into account the Ignatian framework, the challenges we face and the roots of our community.
During the 10th Congress there will be sessions on various themes, such as migration, ecology, the role of women, technology, religion, education, the professional environment and social innovation. There will also be presentations on networking and community.
