Pope Francis is calling for an educational alliance to promote care for our common home. The goal of this initiative is to create a new universal solidarity and a more welcoming society and he recognizes that education is key to driving such positive change
The Vatican will host a gathering in May 2020 to reflect on the theme “Reinventing the Global Educational Alliance”. Representatives from various religions, NGOs, academia, and cultural and political leaders have been invited to attend, in the hope of endorsing the “Global Compact on Education”.

As Brigidines with a long commitment to education, may we continue to take every opportunity to promote care for our common home, solidarity, hospitality and inclusion and thus bring about positive changes in our own little corners of the world.
