Igreja/Ensino: Simpósio quer «traçar mapas educativos» que «servirão como o GPS» para novos caminhos

The Episcopal Commission for Christian Education of the Catholic Church in Portugal will hold a symposium titled "Drawing Educational Maps for a Magnificent Humanization" on October 2 and 3. The event will take place at the Paulo VI Pastoral Center within the Sanctuary of Fátima.

Professor Jorge Novo Lisboa, director of the Diocesan Secretariat for Moral and Religious Catholic Education of Bragança-Miranda, said the gathering aims to create new educational maps to guide participants through a changed landscape. He described these maps as a GPS to help orient educators on different modern paths.

The symposium intends to move beyond reflection to establish specific commitments for education. Lisboa stated that a primary challenge is determining the direction of education, specifically focusing on the centrality of the student and the person.
