EDUCAR Network Spain moves forward together toward the VIII EDUCAR Meeting in 2027

The principals and representatives of the Augustinian Recollect educational centers in Spain meet in assembly to share the conclusions of the work carried out in each school and develop a joint proposal for the upcoming international meeting.

Preparations for the VIII EDUCAR Meeting continue to move forward. After completing the reflection and working phase in each of the educational centers in Spain, the principals and representatives of the EDUCAR Network schools gathered in assembly to share the conclusions of their respective educational communities, identify their main points of convergence, and develop a joint proposal that reflects the realities, concerns, and challenges of the Spain region.

This assembly represents an important step in the preparation process for the Meeting. The work previously carried out in each center has made it possible to gather different perspectives and experiences which, when shared, contribute to building a common vision of EDUCAR Network in Spain. It is an exercise in listening, dialogue, and participation that reflects the richness of moving forward together, embracing the diversity of each school while sharing the same identity.

This process is rooted in the Augustinian Recollect charism, which invites us to approach education through interiority, the shared search for truth, fraternity, and a sense of community. As sons and daughters of Saint Augustine, we understand that growing and moving forward together requires us to meet, listen to one another, and build upon what unites us.

This year, Spain also takes on the responsibility of organizing the VIII EDUCAR Meeting, which will take place from March 1 to 5, 2027, in Guadarrama (Madrid). We embrace this opportunity with great enthusiasm and joy, and we hope to make it an experience of encounter, fraternity, and communion for educators from all the different regions.

From Spain, we want to share with the entire EDUCAR family our joy at being able to gather next March, exchange experiences, renew our identity, and continue growing as a network that moves forward together, inspired by the thought and spirituality of Saint Augustine and by the charism of the Order of Augustinian Recollects.

We are preparing to welcome, share, and celebrate who we are: an educational family that, from different places and realities, moves forward together in the search for truth.
