During their recent trip to Chile, CJI Executive Director Jenny Cafiso and International Programs Coordinator Juan Emilio Hernandez traveled to Tirúa to visit the Jesuit community living among Indigenous people in the Mapuche territory. 

They received a warm welcome from Fr. Carlos Bresciani, SJ, a Jesuit priest and coordinator of the Network for Solidarity and Indigenous Apostolate (RSAI), a CJI partner organization. Fr. Carlos has lived and worked with Indigenous people in the territory for nearly 23 years. 

Jenny and Juan also met Fr. Polo, another Jesuit priest, who works as a medical doctor in the community. 

Jenny described the earlier meetings with delegates of the social apostolates of the Conference of Jesuit Provincials of America, and the visit to Tirúa as “life-giving.”

On World Youth Skills Day, July 15, Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) celebrates the contributions that young people make in shaping a better world for all. CJI also supports initiatives to equip young people with the skills they need for dignified employment, entrepreneurship, and full participation in the economic, political, and cultural life of society.

CJI highlights its support for a project by Fe y Alegría that aims to improve access to fair and decent employment for at-risk and vulnerable youth across Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Cuba. 

The project provides participants with training programs that align with current labour market demands and that actively transform their lives and their communities. The program also includes career orientation, vocational testing, job fairs, internships with private sector employers and professional employment placement within 17 designated Fe y Alegría education centres.

Founded in 1955 by Jesuit priest José María Vélaz, SJ, Fe y Alegría is a federation of local educational institutions that provides education to marginalized populations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 

According to the UNESCO, the theme of this year’s observance of World Youth Skills Day, Skills for a shared future, focuses on “the need to develop innovative youth skills that prepare young people to successfully participate in societies and economies, where they can lead with empathy, communicate across cultures, build resilience and contribute to a better future.”

Young people “need more than technical skills alone,” said UNESCO, citing how artificial intelligence, the green transition and rapid societal shifts are changing the nature of work. “They need a balanced set of competencies that combines technical, digital, AI, green, socio-emotional and civic skills with the human qualities that technology cannot replace.”

CJI Executive Director Jenny Cafiso and International Programs Coordinator Juan Emilio Hernandez are attending an assembly in Chile of the network of social centers of the Conferencia de Provinciales Jesuitas de America (CPAL; Conference of Jesuit Provincials of America). 

The meeting aims to create a framework that situates them “within a culture of encounter in the current context based on dialogue, reconciliation and peace.” Participants will also exchange ideas on how to clarify their organizations’ role in “influencing the strengthening of democracy and the global Ignatian Advocacy Network.” Attendees will also have an opportunity to visit CPAL-supported social programs. 

Jenny and Juan will also have a chance to meet with some CJI partners who are attending the assembly.
