Le troisième symposium de CJI pour la sensibilisation de Jeunes pour les autres (Youth for Others (Y4O)) a été l’un des points culminants de 2024. Du 21 au 23 avril, ce symposium a rassemblé des jeunes de partout au Canada sous le thème « Éducation : votre droit, notre avenir ».

L’événement a mis en vedette des conférenciers qui ont discuté, entre autres : des obstacles à l’éducation des filles, de l’intersection entre extraction minière et éducation et de l’impact de la racialisation des étudiants au Canada. Avec une formation pratique et des rencontres avec des parlementaires canadiens, les participants ont découvert des outils de sensibilisation, et pour exercer de la pression afin que le Canada s’acquitte de son engagement envers l’atteinte des objectifs de développement durable des Nations Unies pour 2030 sur l’égalité de genre et la qualité de l’éducation.

Les participants au symposium Y4O provenaient de quatre provinces canadiennes et incluaient quatre écoles jésuites, de même que des étudiants du secondaire et du postsecondaire de partout au Canada. Un aumônier participant a dit : « Merci pour cette conférence inspirante et transformatrice, nous avons hâte d’y amener encore plus d’étudiants. »

Noluthando Honono, le conférencier principal de ce symposium, a également fait une tournée au nom de CJI, avec des arrêts à Ottawa, Toronto, Guelph et Winnipeg. Honono est un militant en éducation qui a travaillé avec les Jésuites et a développé une proposition de programme pour la rentrée des classes après la pandémie en Afrique du Sud, avec une attention particulière pour l’éducation des filles. Honono a mis en relief les obstacles économiques et de genre qui empêchent les filles d’avoir accès à leur droit à l’éducation.

Un autre centre d’intérêt du travail de sensibilisation de CJI en 2024 touche à la migration forcée. L’automne dernier, plus de 600 étudiants ont participé à plusieurs événements comme des retraites et des Journées pour la justice sociale de Y4O qui ont permis de les conscientiser sur la migration forcée par le biais d’activités interactives qui étaient tout à la fois informatives et engageantes.

Pieter Niemeyer est le coordonnateur pour la sensibilisation pour Canadian Jesuits International.

Quality education can deliver extraordinary results, including reduced poverty, employment, improved health and fewer preventable deaths in childbirth. But in vulnerable communities that are geographically isolated, ravaged by poverty or fractured by war, education is too often absent, inadequate or severely interrupted. Education is a human right, but 250 million children and young people around the world are out of school for social, economic and cultural reasons.CJI and its Jesuit partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America work to ensure that people have access to their right to education by providing early childhood, primary and secondary education, vocational training and knowledge sharing.Learn more about how your support is making a difference : Click link in bio to view/download the latest CJI Annual Report#Jesuits #education #Asia #Africa #LatinAmerica #MiddleEast #socialjustice

'Hope is the way"Javier Cortegoso Lobata, Coordinator of the Jesuit Migration Network, delivers a forceful New Year's message on forced migration in the Americas and around the world, the Jesuit response, and prospects for 2025.The network, which provides support to migrants and refugees in Latin America and the Caribbean, is a partner of Canadian Jesuits International.Excerpts: "I am sending you a grateful embrace as we close the year. It has not been a good year for forced migration in the Americas and around the world, and expectations for 2025 are not the brightest. But there are many reasons for hope. I continue to be amazed by God’s presence along the paths and in the communities. I see it in those who walk, those who say goodbye and those who welcome. I see it in lives interrupted by unjust policies, by the threat and all too frequent reality of organized crime, in journeys that grow longer and seem impossible, and in how they persevere, trust and try. Extraordinary stories that leave us deeply humbled by their immense struggles. I find hope in the work of each and every one of you – small miracles that save lives, that transform, that grow weary but never give up a humanity that sets us apart as works of society. I feel hope in the wisdom that led us more than 20 years ago to understand ourselves as a collective journey towards justice, embracing our diversity of territories, capacities and skills. I thank you all for your generosity..."His message has been translated from Spanish into English and Portuguese.
