About this Event

The global commitment to achieve universal, inclusive and equitable education by 2030 faces significant challenges,  as outlined by Pope Francis in his State of the World address on January 9, 2023. In this crucial time, we must come together to confront the current “educational catastrophe” and work towards quality instruction for everyone.

Embracing a human rights-based approach to education and social order aligns with the Universal Apostolic Preferences and the fundamental mission of the Society of Jesus. Discover how the Jesuits of Canada and their partners continue to work for justice in education.

Join Jenny Cafiso, Executive Director of Canadian Jesuits International, in this webinar as she discusses education as a human right, focusing on girls' education as part of the Her Right, Our Future campaign. Drawing from Jenny's recent travels to India and Nepal, as well as the work of Canadian Jesuits International's partners in the Global South, learn how our response must be spiritual, political and structural.

Together, let's build a rights-based society that reflects our fundamental call to “praise, reverence and serve God.”

A recording will be provided to registered participants after the event.
