Gómez-Sevilla, Hugo; Flórez, Huber
International Studies in Catholic Education, v13 n1 p90-123 2021
This article aims to share the transformative experience of several schools of the Society of Jesus in Colombia. Starting with the Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola in the city of Medellin and articulated with the experiences of three other schools in different regions (Colegio San Luis Gonzaga in Manizales, Colegio Berchmans in Cali, and Colegio San Pedro Claver in Bucaramanga), to weave a collaborative process of network innovation. It is not intended to be a manual of instructions, but the expression of a process of community discernment that for several years has allowed them to deepen their knowledge of their context, the common sense to the needs to be met, the deepening in the sense of educational mission of their institutions and the collaborative learning to carry out their work. The result of this process is the transformation of the mentality of the apostolic companions working in those institutions. Inspired by the action of the Holy Spirit, this innovation process gives an account of authentic processes of personal and community renewal for the transformation of the educational apostolate.
