Scholas Occurrentes and CONACED sign an alliance to strengthen education in Colombia

From our headquarters in Rome, we celebrate the signing of a Collaboration Agreement with CONACED, a historic step to continue building an education that generates meaning, promotes encounter and transforms communities.

This important meeting brought together José María del Corral, president and founder of Scholas Occurrentes; María Paz Jurado, executive director; Fr. Misael Enrique Meza Rueda, SJ, national president of CONACED; and Nelson Otaya, from the Pastoral Directorate of CONACED.

An alliance to generate new educational opportunities

This collaboration means opening new opportunities for more young people to be heard, more teachers to strengthen their educational experiences, and more schools to become protagonists of social transformation.

Furthermore, it represents a decisive step towards consolidating the Scholas Schools Network throughout Colombia, in partnership with CONACED.

A path that continues to grow in Colombia

This is a path that we have already been building in territories like Santa Marta, thanks to the support of Monsignor José Mario Bacci Trespalacios and so many educational communities that have believed in the culture of encounter.

Because when institutions meet, schools connect, and young people speak out, education is transformed.

We continue building bridges, sowing hope, and making encounters a way to transform the world.
