The Board of Directors of Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) has approved a project that will train traditionally excluded youth from seven countries on influential and critical citizenship so that they can play a leading role in social and political transformation.

The project by CJI Jesuit partner Fe y Alegría Internacional was one of 20 projects approved by the Board when it met on February 21.  Fe y Alegría is an international Jesuit education and social development movement that offers education, vocational training, and social programs to poor and marginalized communities in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

The other projects which were approved address the right to education; ecology and sustainability; human rights, civic participation, and peacebuilding; and the rights of forcibly displaced people. Learn more: https://bit.ly/CJI20Projects
