PRESENTATION There is time to dream, time to sow, time to harvest, but there is also time to tell Good News about Fe y Alegría.

This i show the life and mis-sion of Fe y Alegría also becomes his-tory in the 2018 Annual Report!

The 2018 Annual Report takes place during the 3rd year of Deployment of this new stage of the Federation that we have been materializing since the 2016-2020 Priority Plan. In 2016, we discussed and agreed to-gether upon the new federation model and leadership; a period that involved the challenging transition of the federation programs towards federation initiatives in networks. To a large extent, 2017 allowed us to complete the transition and boost with more intensity the new federation stage.

The foregoing takes new life in the hopeful stories originat-ing throughout different Fe y Alegría countries, considering different contexts such as the Pan-Amazonian, special and inclusive education, education coverage and quality amidst diversity, etc. This is why we can state that the heart of the 2018 Annual Report includes the stories of the mission from different countries where we are present. I dare to say that this is the most im-portant aspect in this Annual Report, and also the most expressive aspect of what we are and what we do in terms of diversity. Every Fe y Alegría country responds based on their own contexts, cultures, beliefs and particularities, but together conforms a single entity out of the diversity.

At Fe y Alegría we are located in these new borders as a Movement that is getting in-creasingly Global. Thus, and from a networking perspec-tive, we look to have a greater and better impact in entities and organizations responsible for discussing and defining public policies, especially educational ones.

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

Fe y Alegría is an International Movement for Popular Education and Social Promotion driving comprehensive, inclusive and quality educational processes from, by and for the communities it serves, committed to the transformation of individuals for the construction of fair and democratic social systems.

MISSION VISION

Fe y Alegría is a benchmark in terms of comprehensive, inclusive and quality popular education working at the borders experiencing higher levels of exclusion, with an impact on local and international policies, is sustainable and developing propositions along with the communities that contribute to the construction of fair, solidary, violence-free, and diversity respectful societies where people can live with dignity.

DECÁLOGOUS 1 Faith

Our project was born out of Faith Our Project was born out of the Faith experiences in Jesus of Nazareth and out of his invitation to build God’s Kingdom and Justice, especially in light of the realities of poverty and exclusion, respecting and conversing with other religious and cultural expressions. These Faith experiences also lead us to believe in the capacity for all persons, without any discrimination, to transform our reality and build a better world.

3 Movement

Joy

2

Using joy as attitude Our joy gets stronger in meeting impoverished and excluded persons and in committing to personal and social transformation arising from the releasing experience of our Faith in Jesus. Our movement was not born out of a doctrine or ideology but precisely out of these experiences of Faith and Joy, of Fe y Alegría. We therefore adopted both a joyful and liberating pedagogy.

Alwyas in the Move Fe y Alegría conveys to the society the pressing need of working together to erradicate proverty, inequality, injustice and suffering of excluded and impoverished persons. This urgency is what fills us with boldness and creativity, what consistently makes us to reread the context and our own identity, leading us beyond limits and borders.

For purposes of fostering entrepreneurship and creativity, Fe y Alegría values and drives functional autonomy of countries and educational centers, thereby triggering people’s initiative.

4 Educating

Educating All our social educational actions foster the formation of new individuals, aware of their potentials and of the reality surrounding them, open to transcendence, gamechangers, leading players of their own development and promoters of respectful relationships with other people, with the communities and with God’s creation.

Based on these we believe in education as a right for everyone throughout our lives, and foster popular, inclusive and quality popular education to build a more equitable, fair and sustainable society.

8

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

5 Popular Education

We Are Popular Education We Are Popular Education, especially because we foster an ethical, political, pedagogical and epistemological proposition for social transformation. We consistently strive to learn about the local, national and global reality with a critical approach, building and improving our practices.

We value and revitalize popular cultures and experiences in all that we do.

6 Social Promotion

We Are Social Promotion We believe in the dignity of people and the communities. We engage jointly and severally with teachers, students, families and other community stakeholders in the life, problems and solutions of their communities. We foster a harmonic and sustainable relationship between the community and its natural environment. Consequently, we work with, from and for the community by developing their capacities and looking for models of alternative development to create social transformation processes.

7 Commitment

We Are committed Our commitment is a choice that emerges from faith experiences in Jesus of Nazareth, which lead us to love, work for justice, for the defense of human rights, and to strongly commit to social transformation and to the construction of God’s Kingdom. We are concerned about consistent motivation and formation of all Fe y Alegría members, as we require the presence and action of committed, passionate and serviceable persons.

8 Excluded

We Opt for Excluded Sectors We have clearly opted for the social sectors that suffer from poverty and greater exclusion levels. We work to empower all persons who are denied of their rights. This option is nonwai-vable. These persons will always be at the center of our actions.

9 Justice and peace

We Work for Justice and Peace We reflect on the causes leading to injustice situations. We communicate with society and create awareness, impacting on national and international entities as we are convinced that each and every one of us is responsible for the creation of new structures that make this world more human and with a reduced inequity gap. Our fight for justice starts by defending the right to quality education as a public good and by fostering the universalization of public and free education as a duly for all Governments. We also promote the dignification of the teacher’s profession.

10 Fraternal and Democratic

We Build a Fraternal and Democratic Society We work on partnerships with social movements, governments, institutions, religious congregations, companies and other social organizations. We create synergies to defend education as a universal right and public good with goal of social transformation enabling for a dignified life. We build a new society formed by fraternal, violence-free relations, at peace with nature and democratic.

GLOBAL MOVEMENT, EDUCATE AT THE BORDERS

This tagline which reflects part of our iden-tity and foundational inspiration projected into the future, emerged from the INTER-NATIONAL FE Y ALEGRÍA CONGRESS that took place in Madrid, Spain from Septem-ber 28 – 30, 2018. All information regarding this Congress is available at: www. con-gresofeyalegria2018.org

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

In this Annual Report we would like to share an infographic containing the main topics and approaches of El Escorial Final Declaration, as well as three experiences that provide for evidence on our work at the borders.

A geographical border, a social educational border, and another border concerning federation arrangements in new territories.

FE Y ALEGRÍA IN THREE BORDERS The Pan-Amazonian: a multinational geographical experience The Pan-Amazonian is a multinational geographical border experience, a biome where we are staking the future of our planet. 2017 was the year in which we performed an assessment on the situation of Fe y Alegría sites located in the Pan-Amazonian area; this enabled us to define projects under three lines of action: defense and care of the environment; interculturality and bilingualism.

The purpose of this mapping was to identify the problems, action alternatives and charac-teristics of each educational site. Some of our major findings in the 99 Fe y Alegría sites throughout Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil (including the two rural education networks, nucleus and network of IRFA broadcasting stations) include that 34% of the students and 28% of teachers are selfrecognized as indigenous and are interested in improving their knowledge and actions towards topics such as the loss of animal and vegetal diversity, the handling of waste, climate change, shortage of water and the disappearance of surrounding forests.

The possibility of educating critical students from a perspective of cultural and ideological decolonization by incorporating culture, language, tradition and knowledge and values of indigenous communities in school curricula is one of the biggest challenges of Fe y Alegría in the Pan-Amazonian to overcome the discourse on diversity, dialogue and tolerance.

Special Education – the Ecuador Case In 2018, in partnership with the Organization of IberoAmerican States (OEI) and the Ministry of Education, the models for Specialized Education Management and BiCultural Bilingual Education for Deaf Persons were materialized, both of which were noted as significant contributions to reinforce the education oriented to diversity in Ecuador.

The challenge posed for the future is to organize the best strategies to strengthen the “Guide on Educational Attention Oriented to Diversity” particularly in phase VI corresponding to the “Transition to Adult and Professional Life” stage. In this same vein, a few preprofessional workshops have been devised to perform an appropriate transition into the labor field.

The steps to follow are challenging, but the conviction of Fe y Alegría Ecuador in achieving the materialization and strengthening of the Right to Education of persons with functional disabilities with the involvement of these priority attention groups.

Asia: a real challenge in terms of coverage, diversity and quality

These first federation steps in Cambodia pose the following three major objectives:

Like Africa, Asia represents the most significant geographical challenge of the Fe y Alegría of the near future. Back in November 2018 the General Coordinator of Federación Internacional de Fe y Alegría, Carlos Fritzen S.J. visited Cambodia.

1. Articulate efforts to improve Edu-cation Quality oriented to social transformation.

2. Establish contacts and coordination efforts in order to form a local network (Society - Church) for educational purposes.

3. Reinforce the link with the Fe y Alegría movement at an international level.

Cambodia is a country that was at war for 30 years (1969-1998) which significantly determines its present. It has a population of 15.4 million, of which 32% has approximately 15 years old while 65% are under 30. As for their beliefs, Cambodia is a primarily Buddhist country (96.9%) in which there is Muslim minority (1.9%) and a much smaller Christian group (0.4%), from which about 30,000 are Catholic.

Cambodia is presented as a fertile soil and the spearhead of Fe y Alegría in Asia.

Different meetings and workshops took place with representatives of the Society of Jesus and the local Church that officially exists as NGO in Cambodia. There was an institutional presenta-tion of Fe y Alegría, as well as about the number of educational, ecclesiastical, and assistance initi-atives of the many of the different stakeholders present at the meetings. The shared insight is that different stakeholders managed to sit in the same table to think about Cambodia and move forward in terms of objectives, resources and some of the activities.

FE Y ALEGRÍA:

POLICY OF CARE AND PROTOCOL ON ACTIONS AGAINST ABUSE SITUATIONS, BEYOND BORDERS

14

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

In 2015 a federation document was drafted in a participative and agreed manner regarding the protection of minors against any form of abuse.

Subsequently, the General Assembly resolved that each federated country should draft a protocol concerning healthy environments and the protection of minors. Between 2017 and 2018, and following the collection of the different protocols that each federated country had been working on, the Board of the Federación reflected on and formulated a Federation Policy.

We are convinced that we have proposed working together in this connection, being guided by precise objectives such as ensuring the respect to dignity and integrity of persons by protecting their physical, psychological and sexual health; as well as assuring that all persons profession-

ally involved with minors have clear guidelines and precise resources available to detect these situations and act in an appropriate, quick and effective manner.

This Federation Policy makes us aspire to become more efficient and timely to stop any situation that might infringe the rights of the children and youngsters participating in our educational and social promotion programs, and to act coordinately and collaboratively.

Federación Internacional de Fe y Alegría has made progress in reflecting and understanding on the actual and dramatic meaning of abuse in the life of any giv-en person. Despite this, the society must still understand as an uncontested truth that the respect towards underage people is unnegotiable and that it i sus a

common good that should be adopted as social responsibility that must be assumed by each and every one of us.

This document is also a contribution to move for-ward in the prevention and eradication of mistreatment and abuse of minors, orienting any urgent and pertinent actions that our Movement must conduct in each of the countries in which we are present. Furthermore, we hope that this contributes to highlight the pressing need to acknowledge proper treatment as an essential need for human development. We know that intervention in cases of child and juvenile abuse and sexual assault is complex and poses several difficulties for teams intending to ensure the wellbeing of children and youngsters attending Fe y Alegría’s educational sites and community centers worldwide.

It should be noted that detection and actions in these situations in which the rights of underage persons are infringed should not be limited to a subjective decision depending on each teacher and/or director.

When this type of situations happens, the institution is responsible for promoting a joint response from both government and social entities.

As this is an issue directly related to justice when dealing with abuse cases, it is intimately related to our public action. This is why it is necessary to assess this situation from every possible standpoint and instances, and by all people involved in the teaching learning processes deployed by Fe y Alegría.

The protection of these rights requires the coordi-nation of actions to provide relief on the impact caused to the minor when the assault case has already taken place. But it is also important to early prevent and detect any risks, in addition to subsequently conduct a proper follow-up on the situation of children and adolescents, being understood that these conditions are necessary both for the absolute development of their

16

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

capabilities, as well as for the pos-sibility of a more equitable world.

Through the approval of this Policy to conducts actions at each and every educational site and community center of Fe y Alegría worldwide, we will be giving a significant step in materializing a Movement that ensures and defends the rights of all children and youngsters. Of course, this work will not end here, as we can’t and do not wish to rest by thinking “we already have a document that compiles our Federation Policy”, but this will surely become an outstanding input to keep reflecting on, working for and growing as Federación Internacional de Fe y Alegría.

MOMENTS

Initiative leaders get together to bolster network

Fostering and consolidating a network in Fe y Alegría was the major goal of this meeting that took place in Bogotá in March of 2018. To accomplish this goal, dif-ferent criteria were unified, and several concepts were deeply assessed to build a common vision on the new federation’s course of action, which necessarily is associated to a new way of participative and co-responsible leadership to increase the impact on the mission.

Based on this general goal, the workshop was devised on a resultbasis: recover agreements and reflections from previous federation events, form the network leading federation initiatives, build the federation management model allowing communication, coordination and exchange of experiences in terms of the initiatives, planning midterm initiatives (2018 -2020) and lastly articulating actions between areas and initiatives for planning operationalization. During this event, there was progress on reflecting how the new course of action of the federation using a dual structure actually reconciles the conventional organizational model with network-based courses of action.

After performing a review on the 17 initiatives it was evidenced that all of them were progressing at differ-ent paces, but still a general intense and hopeful movement was still perceived. The challenge that re-mained as a result of this workshop consisted in creat-ing a common planning that will connect all initiatives with the terms of the Federation Priority Plans, producing crossovers and synergies between each other.

Spain hosts the 47th Congress of Federación In-ternacional Fe y Alegría

The 47th Congress of Federación International Fe y Alegría took place in Madrid between September 28 and Octo-

ber 1st, under the title “Fe y Alegría, a global movement.

Educating in borders”. This meeting, which was jointly organized by Entreculturas (Fe y Alegría in Spain) and Federación Internacional de Fe y Alegría, addressed a number of topics such as the present and future borders of Fe y Alegría, the strategies to be applied as global movement, and the increasingly important work approach in the general public.

At the inaugural session we had the partici-pation of Father General of the Society of Jesus, Fr. Arturo Sosa, S.J. and Provincial Father of Spain Fr. Antonio España, S.J.

The first session of this Congress started with a meeting of youngsters of Fe y Alegría that are part of the Red Generación 21+ initiative, which is also part of the Red Solidaria de Jóvenes de Entreculturas. Congress attendees were able to experience a unique moment of juvenile expression in a street demonstration in barrio de la Ventilla of Madrid and a discussion meeting with Fe y Alegría directors.

The second session and core of the Congress took place on September 29 and 30 in El Escorial. The opening speech was performed by Father General Arturo Sosa S.J., who re-ferred to the importance of this Movement in times of global trans-formation. In the infographics shown in the following page there is a summary of Father Arturo’s speech.

In his closing speech, the General Coordinator stated that “This has been the most global congress we’ve had in Fe y Alegría, not only because of the quantitative ratio…; over 350 people from more than 30 different nationalities, over 6,000 people that participated in the “Fe y Alegría quiere oírte” survey and more people following us in social media …; but also because it was an event in which qualitatively speaking we put our heart, soul and lives in acknowledging us in the borders in which we already are and has placed our imagination where our new borders are, those that challenge us and require from us.”

As culmination of our congress, there was a public act that took place on October 1st at the Auditorium of Palacio de Cibeles, under the title “Agenda 2030: The challenge of a world-changing education”. In that event we had the presence of several educational key players of the Catholic Church, members of the government, and representatives from the international cooperation field, who got together to address the challenges and proposals to reach the ODS 4 as well as specific educational challenges with respect to the most vulnerable communities.

Fe y Alegría communicators, committed to the global movement For purposes of creating syner-gies of collaborative work from the countries in which Fe y Alegría operates, Federación Internacional held the International Communication Meeting with the participation of 42 key communicators representing 21 countries. The meeting was held at Centro de Espiritualidad “Francisco Palau” from November 25 – 30, 2018, in Bogota.

During this meeting, participants defined common strategies and work groups to develop those that will allow us to reinforce the inter-country interactions for purposes of creating greater impact and incidence of Fe y Alegría Global Movement. Some of the shared work communication initiatives include the following:

20

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

1. Developing common communication campaigns at an international level and in net-works, in the pursuit of greater incidence in favor of the universal right to a quality education for every person.

2. Accompanying the federation deployment of work initiatives in networks and creating intercompany collaborative work actions.

3. Strengthening digital communication means and social media available through articulated strategies and actions.

In addition to participants from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Spain, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Italy, Nicaragua, United States, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Venezuela, we also had the participation of representatives from sister networks of the Society of Jesus which are part of the Provincials Conference in Latin America and the Caribbean (CPAL): Federación Latinoamericana de Colegios de la Compañía de Jesús – FLACSI, Asociación de Universidades confiadas a la Compañía de Jesús (AUSJAL), Jesuitas Colombia, Educate MAGIS, Servicio Jesuita a Mi-grantes with the #SoyH campaign, and representatives from our Red Generación 21+.

#2018-2020 Federation Deployment: assessment, challenges and perspectives In order to develop the 2016-2020 Federation Priority Plan in specific actions, the areabased work during 2017 and 2018 had three general priorities, as follows: 1. Dialogue with the countries to define each initiative’s leaders and co-leaders 2. Design and execute the POA 2018 3. Formation of initiative leaders and establish connections between initiatives, areas to work on the formation of networks on an intra- and inter-initiative basis.

ASSESSMENT, CHALLENGES AND

PERSPECTIVES

POPULAR EDUCATION

AND SOCIAL PROMOTION AXIS 1 Reflection on Popular Education – Initiative 3 The route for the implementation of the initiative was traced, and suggestions were also collected from the National Directors, to create an international commission to work and encourage reflection on the update of Popular Education based on today’s changing settings from their epidemiologic, ethical, political and pedagogical dimensions.

Education for Work – Initiative 8 During 2017 and 2018, the Initiative on Education for Work, has developed interesting activities.

One of them has been the “proposal for im-proved employability and labor in-sertion”, which has been launched in 21 countries and has managed to educate over 100,000 students in soft skills and work ac-cess ca-pabilities, accomplishing that at least 40,000 of these students are able to perform professional internships at companies. This proposal ended in August 2018. Durning this period, we have also worked in pilot initiatives which have taught us how to incorporate genderbased actions in our Formation Sites; 5 countries have participated in this proposal.

Also, we have noticed an interest-ing impact when work-ing on

2018Colombia Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria Photograph: – SMC 22

“en-trepreneur-ship with purpose” in 5 countries, which results have been observed in consolidated business models.

In terms of technology, the “reduction of the digital gap” has been also part of our work, implementing the “Raspberry” technology in 4 countries, which allows us to create a local (Wi-Fi) internet and simulate online courses. Also, in this connection, two countries benefitted from equipment and formation in the textile area. Certainly, these years have been marked by extensive learning and major accomplishments in our Formation Sites.

Some of the challenges for the next few years include keep reinforcing employability, la-bor insertion, the use of digital tools, the formation of teachers, the entrepreneurship with purpose, and the strong incorporation of gender based actions (co-education) at our Formation Sites. Keeping our technological equipment upto-date and materializing the work we must conduct on our Agro & Livestock Sites constitute major challenges.

Innovation – Initiative 9 We wish to reinforce educational innovation in our different countries. We intend to improve our responses to challenges posed by changes in the educational setting and even more in popular education. To us, innovating does not necessarily mean doing new things in the education field but keep doing good and doing it well with the resources available and consistently with our stakes and responding to the demands of popular sectors.

We have made progress on: • • • • • •

Articulation meetings with the Initiative for the improvement of educational quality.

Drafting questionnaires on the Initiative and the System for the Quality Improvement of FyA Meetings with most countries to encourage, plan and accompany during the initiative’s deployment.

Learn the educational innovation experiences across our countries.

Organization of the upcoming (November 2019) II Meeting on Educational Innovation for Social Transformation in Ecuador, with the participation of Colombia, Ecuador, Gua-temala, and the counterparties of the Asociación de Colegios Jesuitas de España (EDUCSI).

Organization of the discussion table regarding the topic “Educational innovation for social transformation”, which has allowed us to reflect on how we see innovation from different educational approaches, methodologies and contexts.

The major challenge consists in building together the framework for educational innovation through the contribution of all of us and accompanying the deployment in their respective countries.

System for the Quality Improvement of FyA – Initiative 10 This initiative, which articulates countries that intend to keep implementing or strengthening the System for Quality Improvement (SMC) has made significant progress in involving coun-

23

tries, co-leadership work, and the construction of a common horizon.

Essentially, a work mapping has been prepared which, as the system itself is proposing, involves a thorough reflection and evaluation process to make decisions on the implementation of the SMC in the relevant country. In this same line, a 3 phase operational plan was drafted, which was presented and approved by all participant countries. A diagnostic assessment was performed, which resulted in valuable global and country specific data, and learning communities were established formed by countries with different levels of appropriation and implementation of the SMC. Also, the articulation work with the Educational Innovation Initiative was started, while also creating common work topics.

In terms of challenges, and due to the fact that educational quality is multidimensional, it is necessary that we articulate our work with other initiatives. This is an item on the agenda for the initiative coordination team.

On the other hand, as this is a process that is not funded under any other project, we are facing the challenge of staying within the “effective” agenda of each participant country. When we deal with the day-to-day affairs of each FyA, we are at risk of assuming the educational quality improvement as something in which we already have expertise, without spending time to review and reflect on the path followed and the innovation needs that will always come up.

Gender-based Initiative – Initiative 11 In the pursuit of positioning ourselves with respect to the realities of gender based inequality, this initiative has a scope of action of 10 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Co-lombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Spain, Guatemala, Haiti, Nicaragua and Peru. By the end of the year, we had a teachers’ network (RedAcción) building topics on transformative education concerning equality and peace. Also in 2018 this initiative had the mission to update the gender policy of the Federación.

Pedagogical Formation – Initiative 16 A first major achievement during this period consisted in managing to establish co-leadership for the initiative with Peru and Ecuador. In partnership with other organizations, we managed to provide Movement’s teachers with online courses regarding inclusive educa-tion, as well as the preparation to participate in the Online Interna-tional Congress “Connecting Schools” to be held in 2019. As for the support to Fe y Alegría in Africa, eight workshops took place regarding formation on identity and popular education for the Chad staff members.

We still have as a challenge to keep fostering inclassroom use of technologies among our teachers, as well as keep delving on a for-mation proposal oriented to national pedagogical teams that may reinforce the accompanying processes for educational sites, net-works and/or projects.

BORDERS AXIS 2 Inclusion / Special Education – Initiative 13 We have made a big step in forming the team of countries leading and co-leading Initiative 13 on Special Education and Inclusion (Bolivia and Ecuador, respectively), which in the last couple of years have been carrying out the development of experiences and building of educational mod-els towards an inclusive education oriented to the Persons with Disabilities community within the broad scope of Diversity. The foregoing in addition to the involvement of other countries such as Guatemala, Argentina and Dominican Republic, who contribute with their expertise and learning oriented to reinforce the network in this initiative.

We made progress in the implementation of the Special Education and TICs project. We have systematized experiences on the process conducted at the sites, and there are new proposals moving forward from the countries involved in this initiative. These FyA have shared objectives, actions and challenges in connection with inclusive education en route to 2020, besides carrying out an online survey to have information available concerning the situation of their respective countries in connection with the specific topic, and therefore to envision joint actions and projects to reinforce the Inclusive Special Education work ef-forts at Fe y Alegría as an educational border to be prioritized.

Africa and Madagascar – Initiative 2 Africa, Madagascar and Asia In 2018 we increased Federación’s presence and accompaniment in favor of the African countries where we are present. Furthermore, we made progress with an increased in-volvement of the African FyA sites in their own federative work design. The Africa-Madagascar commission, which included the national directors, was rearranged with clear roles to achieve enhanced interaction, effectiveness and a common vision. In this process, we moved forward in the identification of six relevant federative initiatives from the Afri-can perspective, and also in discerning how we should strengthen and materialize in a more effective manner collaborations between African countries and between other con-tinents.

Upon discussion with several Jesuit provinces in Africa, we made progress in identifying possibilities to start Fe y Alegría work activities in new countries such as Guinea Conakri, Kenya, South Sudan, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Togo, Liberia and Nigeria.

On the other hand, contacts have also been made in Asia to identify a possible collabora-tion and the future establishment of Fe y Alegría in this context. Thus, we have established a relationship in Cambodia with the Apostolic Prefect Office of Battambang and with the Jesuit mission in said country. By the end of 2018 we conducted a federative reconnais-sance visit and participated in a workshop that got together different institutional players that currently work in the education field in Cambodia. As a result of these conversations, the Jesuit mission in Cambodia, which depends on the Province of Korea, has appointed a lead Jesuit and a commission to accompany Fe y Alegría processes in said Asian country.

2018 also witnessed a growing interest of several Jesuit provinces of India to learn about the Fe y Alegría Movement. Based on their reflection and context, it is expected that this will lead to a possible cooperation framework with Federación Internacional de Fe y Alegría.

Pan-Amazonian Region – Initiative 17 During 2018 we moved forward with the network conception. In this initiative we worked on topics such as bilingual inter-cultural education with social-environmental sustainability, among others. These activities were supported through monthly online meetings, and we managed to integrate the FyA sites of Colombia and Brazil in a more effective manner. All of this allowed to reinforce network tasks, always challenged and activated to educate in the new exclusion, geographic, population and theme borders, and generally where the most vulnerable people are located.

SUSTAINABILITY AXIS 3

Implementation of the Federative Priority Plan – Initiative 1 The last two periods, 2017 and 2018, have been important to increase our organizational and economic sustainability, while we move towards a more effective and sound management.

There has been progress in the design and promotion of a new course of federative action intended to obtain greater network support, a better communication, new leadership, discernment and innovation, all this structured around priority initiatives and the 4 are-as articulating them.

The federative structure has been fully renovated throughout 2018. Commis-sions of areas and initiatives, leader-ships and co-leaderships have been defined already.

New initiatives and networks are operational. Thus, the new course of action for the federation has been bolstered. The reorganization of federative services has been completed, continuing with the work that began in 2017.

In this same line, there has been in-creased coordination with the new management policy and communication strategy of Fe y Alegría, being aware that this a field in which we need a significant boost to reinforce social visibility and foster the procure-ment of funds and partnerships.

Measurement of the education-al impact and research – Initiative 5 In collaboration with a team from In-stituto de Estudios Sociales of Erasmus University from the Hague, Holland, a methodol-ogy

that has been designed and validated to as-sess the impact of formal education actions of Fe y Alegría. The first assessment in Bolivia has been taken place, and will continue throughout 2019 in Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Guatemala and Dominican Republic. This assessment intends to create empirical evidence, along with a robust qualitative analysis to validate and support the Fe y Alegría model on formal education (early childhood, primary and secondary education).

It is expected to show the extent on which Fe y Alegría’s formal education model (early childhood, primary and secondary education) is successful about the educational quality, equity/access and participation standards.

We would like to learn about good practices, cre-ate knowledge and strengthen our dealings; be capable of developing proposals to national public education systems and to the educational community, from the perspective of public action and incidence. Also, we intend to position Fe y Alegría by improving accountability, institutional transparency and thereby contributing to improve fund raising and establishing and reinforcing our partnerships. This process will help create capabilities, and establish a consensus-based measurement and evaluation methodology.

Sustainability – Initiative 12 In terms of economic and funding sustainability, we have continued with developing the diversification and access strategy to new funding sources, both in Europe and in the U.S. We have established good rela-tionships with catholic agencies and institutions for funding purposes in Germany. We have strengthened the quality of execution and follow-up of federative projects to ensure the trust of our partners.

As for funding, we must articulate a strategy for Latin America, through a diagnostic of prospective funding sources and an approach protocol to potential international allies with the support of the relevant countries.

We must keep on with the idea of defining a common framework of institutional sustainability in Fe y Alegría, conducting a comprehensive diagnostic and

28

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

devising proposals to be addressed in the upcoming years.

Also, we will explore the possibilities provided by our former student networks, especially in any Fe y Alegría sites with the most tradition and history.

Fe y Alegría in the U.S. – Initiative 14 This initiative, which began as “Friends of Fe y Alegría” in the U.S., has been consolidated now under the umbrella of Magis Americas, an institution founded by the Jesuit Conference of the United States-Canada (JCCU) and Latin America (CPAL). Magis Americas is a non-government non-profit organization that supports apostolic work of the Society of Jesus in Latin America, with particular focus on Fe y Alegría.

Thanks to Magis Americas and the fundraising activities it boosts, there has been an increase in the resources available. Some of the events in-cluded the pro-fundraising galas to benefit the work of Fe y Alegría in Venezuela.

Under the initiative 14, Magis Amer-icas has set the following challeng-es: 1. Reinforce its organizational and operational capabilities through the diversification of funding sources and programmatic scope 2. Extend the commitment with Latin communities in the U.S. to foster solidarity and cooperation, achieving sustainable re-sponses in the countries with which we are engaged.

3. Increase work with foundations and companies to reach as de-sired goal that the 6% of annual revenue in 2019 would origi-nate from foundations /companies.

4. Strengthen the relationship with Jesuit provinces in the U.S. and networks (RJM/ LAC, etc.) in Latin America.

PUBLIC ACTION

AND INCIDENCE AXIS 4 Communication – Initiative 4 In 2018 we had the opportunity to rearrange the leadership structure from the countries, pro-duce institutional pieces to be used in meeting spaces, social media and mass media.

The most significant progress, however, has been that following the communication policies and strategies approved in the 2017 assembly, during 2018 there were agreements upon network-based joint task topics and strategies to gain increased presence and incidence.

2018 2018Annual AnnualReport Report/ /Federación International Internacional Federation of Fe y Alegria Alegría

29

An international work team has been formed using the talents and capabilities of each country. We have work commissions to address common topics such as campaigns, web-social media, accompaniment, technical support, among others. Working on the communicational aspect in the different contexts represents a challenge to produce global content without losing the local strength.

The direct and permanent support for countries with emergent realities involving a certain degree of complexity and impact, such as Venezuela, Nicaragua, Honduras and Haiti has been the priority.

We hope to redesign digital communication means of Federación and to re-launch them with an enhanced impact and incidence plan based on a network-approach.

Youngsters – Initiative 6 Reinforce the leading role of youngsters in Fe y Alegría as men and women who undergo a transformation to change the world is one of our top options.

We have an experienced leadership that along with the active involvement of the young population that participate in Red de Generación 21+, would like to become collective work role models in six different action categories: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

Accompaniment to juvenile processes in the countries.

Network of accompanying teachers of juvenile groups.

Knowledge-Formation management.

Communication.

Ecology.

Gender.

Two projects are being executed to reinforce the youngsters’ capabilities as political players from a Transformative Education approach with the involvement of 7 countries, and in the construction of a Culture of Peace based on the Gospel in which there are 9 countries involved.

One of the major challenges consists in achieving a leadership that is capable of summon-ing and engaging youngsters with a larger number of work initiatives at our Fe y Alegría country sites. Developing a more global constructive vision based on specific actions to grow and cover each point of our educational network.

Addressing this work in Africa is still a pending task, taking into consideration its richness in terms of diversity, needs and possibilities. This is a major challenge.

The most relevant and hopeful aspect of all of this is that we are beginning to observe the formation of a leadership for youngsters to operate in the present and plan for the future.

30

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

Citizenship – Initiative 7 During 2018 we had a periodic and consistent pace of accompaniment to the countries involved in this initiative. We proposed to reinforce the awareness on the citizen involvement for the transformation and capacity to engage in public actions. Formation for Participation is the name that youngsters have given to this initiative.

We are executing a Social-Political Formation, Organized Juvenile Prominence and Devel-opment of Civic Capabilities Project with the involvement of 5 countries.

We expect to find ways to engage in this initiative the many other civic actions developed within Fe y Alegría sites in the countries. Participate and link civic actions which leading players will consist of teachers, parents and neighbors of our educational sites. Increase the presence and inci-dence in international spaces where decisions are adopted in connection with the right to education.

Africa is still a pending issue for this civic work initiative. We should move forward in the understanding of realities, need awareness, and involvement with local players.

Relationship with International Organizations – Initiative 15 Federación Internacional keeps a broad and varied relationship with international organizations, both secular and church.

In 2018 we witnessed a greater presence and interaction within the global Society of Jesus, as well as in different instances of the Catholic Church, and even with organizations of protestant churches. Thus, within the Society of Jesus we have led the Global Ignatian Advocacy Network (GIAN) on Education and we work to extend the presence in European funding agencies linked to the German Catholic Church.

The nature of these relationships has several purposes that range from the pursuit of funding to the incidence on priority topics for Fe y Alegría before international organizations and the society in general. In other cases, we join initiatives promoted by other organizations, such as the Huellas de Ternura walk, which covered the American continent to raise awareness on childhood care and prevention of violence.

We were reincorporated to the Latin American Campaign for the Right to Education (CLADE) and selected to join its Steering Committee. Through this joint work platform, we have been active and present in work coalitions of different countries. We have also participated in international events linked to the Global Campaign for Education (CME).

We are facing the challenge of better articulating these and other actions into a strategic plan from the FyA sites in the countries, consistent with the challenges of our settings and with our options of incidence in public education policies.

Argentina In Argentina, we support “second or first chances” Fe y Alegría Argentina along with Centro Genesaret provides accompaniment and workshops on the professional formation for women imprisoned in San Juan. We shared this testimony in which these women are co-protagonists of a deep transformation orient-ed to an authentic freedom. The education and trusted gaze of the other is the spark that ignites a new life and leads to second chances.

Talking about freedom and being able to choose, dream and fight for what you want might seem utopic when someone is born in poverty and social exclusion conditions; even more in case of women. In there are around 200 women living in the Provincial Penitentiary Service of San Juan, who often have no visits, resources or tools to try transforming their present or future into something else. On the other hand, in the male pavilion men have 16 options of workshops in different technical profiles (masonry, electrical, construction...) to be able to create a “fajina” (business) in-side the penitentiary by practicing all they have learnt as well as a “peculio” (a minimum economic remuneration as consideration for their work) considering that women may only perform housekeeping tasks.

“When a wom-an is born in poverty conditions, surrounded by domestic violence, poor education, child-hood malnutrition... and she ends up in jail, one starts questioning whether she was truly free in her previous life”, says Fabiola Lara Bai-gorri, a member of Centro Genesaret, from the capital city of the Province of San Juan. For many years she has been engaged in ac-companying these women and two years ago she started developing along with Fe y Alegría, several

34

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

workshops and formation courses ori-ented to employment and self-employment, besides providing personal accompaniment.

“There are those who question me for working and helping these women; they think that they should not have a second chance... But I ask them how are you so sure that these women had at least one chance before? Maybe we can give them such first chance”.

The first workshop held in the peni-tentiary consisted in a sewing course within the pavilion and using two sewing machines in very poor oper-ating conditions... Today, workshops have five new machines provided by Fe y Alegría Argentina –with the collaboration of Entreculturas and Grupo Inditex–, with all necessary materials and are conducted in a pa-vilion that used to be empty and far away from where inmates live... All of them say this is “a real oasis”.

They love this space and are com-pletely different persons as soon as they set foot there. In a short while they have learnt to make pants and skirts and even dog beds. A smaller number of prison officers also partic-ipate in the workshops, which facilitates a different and positive environment for them to socialize with inmates.

Aside from the technical profile, for-mation includes “soft” skills thanks to the contents provided by the Educa-tion for Work program of Fe y Alegría Argentina and Accenture. “First we adapt the contents of programs to our own language and local reality.

The self-confidence workshop was the one we decided to launch with the girls and was highly powerful and transformative. Now, this will be added to the creation of other work-shops such as: “Interaction capacity”, “Tolerance to frustration” and “Self-control”, in addition to anoth-er one regarding linen. The results are evident, to such extent that the Penitentiary Service author-

ities expressed their interest in replicating this pro-posal for the male pavilion, something that will be materialized very soon with other technical profiles. Inmates provide testimony on the power of the education they received, and on the affection and closeness of said accompani-ment.

One of them, whose identity she prefers to remain anonymous, shared with us her expe-rience through a voice note.

“I had the pleasure to participate in Fe y Alegría workshops... I’m very grateful for that. They gave us these unforgettable workshops. The words of support, of encouragement, they had for us have represented a significant grain of sand for me. I did not have confidence in myself. These words awak-en faith, hope, the “yes I can” in me... that sense of moving forward to be able to remain inside. Now that I have been released and am free, I am a person full of dreams, a new person al-lowed to dream and to say Yes, I can. I am self-confident, I trust Jesus, which gives me a new op-portunity, that is forgiving me. I am what I am thanks to those words. I can wake up in the morning and say to myself that I can be happy, that I can achieve my goals, I can hug, feel, dream... I can learn different things every day. Thank you...”

Bolivia Inclusion, a premise for Fe y Alegría in Bolivia The Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Wel-fare, acting through the Employment Support Program funded by the Inter-American Development Bank, asked Fe y Alegría to organize and develop “Short-term labor training courses for persons with disabilities on ophthalmic, accounting, social skills and customer service”.

This request was submitted under a pilot project to reinforce the capabilities of persons with disabilities and help them join the labor market in compliance with Labor Insertion and Financial Support Act No. 977. Participants acknowledged the commitment and experience of Fe y Alegría Bolivia in developing inclusive processes in their sites.

A total of 29 courses were set as follows: 21 courses on oph-thalmic, 4 courses on accounting, 2 courses on cus-tomer service, and 2 on social skills. These courses took place at the 12 Alternative Education Sites and 4 Superior Technical Education Institutes at the de-partments of La Paz - El Alto, Oruro, Potosí, Cocha-bamba, Chuquisaca, Tarija and Santa Cruz.

A total of 338 students were involved (174 men and 164 women) with different physical, intellectual, psy-chological and hearing disabilities, who met their re-quired academic hours with great expectations of re-ceiving this training, aside from the opportunity to be given an academic certificate that allowed them to access a job.

This was a very fulfilling experience both for persons with disabilities and for directors and teachers of the educational sites that were involved by adjusting the institutions’ infrastructure, creating an inclusive communi-cation with the support of interpreters in sign language, pro-moting the participation in different activities of sites, and by showing that it is possible to overcome any barriers existing in their environment through con-structive attitudes in support of inclusion as an essen-tial right.

Brazil Education’s quality is the main tool for incidence The project “Education’s Quality Improve-ment”, to be conducted during the 2017-2019 period, was conceived to foster incidence and political mobilization of students, families and the community for purposes of the valoriza-tion of the public education by some partner-ships between Fe y Alegría Social Sites and several public schools of their areas. The pro-ject intends to contribute to the reduction of school dropout cases by strengthening the school-family-community relationship and the mobilization of the community around several issues that hamper a fully-fledged safeguard of the right to education.

This initiative emerged from a reflection on the scope of Fe y Alegría in fostering children and adolescents’ empowerment, as the activi-ties performed at their Social Sites with said purpose might be boosted. Therefore, we start-ed to think in channeling a concurrent action oriented to promoting the right to quality public education, en-suring a permanent impact in the lives of students. As Fe y Alegría we realized that we were facing a new border, as if the right of education is safeguarded it would allow the access to other rights and enable a continuous training pro-cess. This way, the partnerships between Fe y Alegría Social Sites and public schools allow for joint actions towards structural and systemic causes of academic failure and its conse-quences, especially school drop-out cases, by creating awareness and mobilization of the education-al community and all its stake-holders.

One of the primary principles that lays the groundwork for the actions developed consists in the conviction that children and adolescents are fully capable of exercising and assert their civil rights. Thus, the strategies and activities of the “Education Quality Improve-ment” project stimulate on a consistent basis the creation of empowerment opportuni-ties so that adolescents and youngsters may develop this potential. The intention is that this process will close with students engaged in the creation of awareness and mobilization of the communi-ty in terms of the safeguard-ing of the right to quality public education.

This happened specifically at several Social Sites following the activation of representa-tive entities – such as the student sector, the creation of the sec-tor’s fan page to share the ini-tiatives, the mobilization and drafting of the executed agreement that includes stu-dents’ demands and those of the community, duly protocol-ized at the prefectures and in the city council. In addition to the main role played by the students, other four principles have influence on any and all interventions performed in the project’s scope for purposes of fostering the valorization of the public school and

the reduction of school drop-outs: (i) the improvement of schools’ physical and organizational structure; ii) the commitment and active participation of the management team of schools and teachers in the different processes; iii) an increased involvement of families and teachers in public schools and in the academic life of students and (iv) increased spaces and opportunities of participation in the academic field.

One of the most innovative aspects of this project is related to the fight against structural causes leading to school failure and/or school drop-out cases. We expect for public schools to permanently renew the commitment, mobilization and social control of the ed-ucational community, so there is a substantial improvement of public education in Brazil. This is a groundbreaking perspective, as it does not limit to handle school drop-out as an is-sue that may be solved only through activities like academic reinforcement, but also by as-signing new meaning and reinforcing the school-family-community relationship and the in-centive of a full exercise of civil rights through the social control of public policies.

In general, we believe that this project has reinforced our actions as civil association in the areas where we are present, as it has enabled to influence on public institutions and the community for the exercise of civil rights in favor of the right to quality public education.

Chad Borders that drive us For 10 years now Fe y Alegría Chad has been working in the Province of Guéra, at the capi-tal city of Yamena along with the local communities and educational institutions for purposes of ensuring a quality education for everybody. In order to make this vision a reality, on one hand we mobilized the communities, the AAE and the AM, school directors, teachers, students and local partners, while on the other hand we conducted several activities with and for these stakeholders.

In order to have a better notion of the impact of the actions performed by Fe y Alegría dur-ing academic year 2017-2018, it should be not-ed the following actions:

School campaigns, girls’ weekends, and hygiene and health education.

Following the launch of the academic year on October 02,2017, Fe y Alegría conducted a set of 25 awareness campaigns. And since we did not want to do it alone, we partnered with UNICEF, PMA and other non-government organizations.

IN addition to the school campaigns, 7 awareness activities were organized on the schooling of girls, called “Weekend-Filles”. This was an excellent opportunity to share and Exchange experi-ences between girls and their fathers on the importance of schooling for girls. As a result of this process, Fe y Alegría joined the girls from three community schools (Mongo, Madgoro and Tchélati) to accompany them in creating girls orientation and follow-up clubs to fight against school drop-out.

Lastly, we developed 2 educa-tional sessions on hygiene, health and self-worth for girls entering puberty and their mothers. In total, we had the participation of 123 girls and 85 mothers.

Activities of early childhood and primary education sites Following these school campaigns, we began with pedagogical activities. Fe y Alegría accompanied schools that are part of its two networks, through the distribution of school kits and handbooks both for primary and early childhood education. In total, 1,449 children benefitted from these sessions, of which 640 were boys and 809 girls aged 4-5 years. Moreover, we en-rolled 1,173 children in early childhood education sites, of which 509 were boys and 664 girls.

During 2017-2018, we al-so distributed 104 blackboards, 590 clothing items and 151 children mats across 31 func-tional education sites.

In parallel, we carried out teachers, monitors and directors training sessions for pur-poses of reinforcing their level; 5 sessions consisted in diverse topics (PRE CP, childcare, French refreshment, and cal-culus) in which 44 Fe y Alegría network monitors were in-volved.

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

39

On the other hand, 102 community teachers participated in 11 training sessions to reinforce their didactic capabilities in the relevant fields and to improve their academic level. Because of such actions, Fe y Alegría, acting through its pedagogy and Eco-Community Relations (REC) departments have conducted follow-up activi-ties at schools both to confirm the regular pay for community teachers as well as the quality of in-class teaching.

secondary education schools there are 189 students, of which 160 are boys and 29 girls throughout 6th and 5th grades. It should be noted that these schools work 100% with teachers responsible for the communities.

During this academic year, all teachers from these schools have received a three-day training session on didactics concern-ing the relevant fields and on admin-istrative management.

Furthermore, and to help students with reading and writing difficulties, Fe y Alegría arranged for reading and writing camps in which 378 students and 24 monitors were involved. At the end, it was clear that 255 students could improve their level.

The formation of the Pre-CP committees and of the mem-bers of the AMEs/APEs

Fe y Alegría Community schools On October 2, 2017 we opened three Fe y Alegría community schools (Madgoro, Mongo and Tchélati). During the opening ceremony, we had the presence of high administrative authorities of the academic, traditional and religious fields of the province of Guéra. In the 3

40

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

IN support of the communities, Fe y Alegría organized in the 2 networks a series of 3 training sessions for the Pre-CP committees and the members of the AMEs/AAEs. 74 people participated in the training sessions regarding the role of the Pre- CP Committee, the rel-evance of the AGRs in schools, the role of each Committee member, and the follow-up activities on the Pre-CP. Following this, several AMEs (around 171 women) were given credits to carry out rev-

enue-generating activities and thereby to ensure the schooling of their children as well as the pay of the community leaders.

School infrastructure of Fe y Alegría In addition to the foregoing activities, during the 2017-2018 period Fe y Alegría carried out the following works: • • • • •

The construction of a building in Colegio de Madgoro (2 classrooms and 1 office) Electrification of Mongo and Madgoro schools using solar panels.

Providing furniture for classrooms of Mongo and Madgoro schools.

Renovations of the Tchélati school.

Construction of toilet facilities for the offices of Fe y Alegría in Bitkin, at the Fe y Alegría site in Mongo and at the Baiwangué school • Installation of a drinking water deposit at the Mongo school • Completion of limitation works of the multimedia room of the Fe y Alegría community school in Mongo.

Technical and professional education site During the 2017-2018 academic period, the Technical and Professional Education Site of Yamena (CFTP) received 107 students (72 men and 35 women), allocated among the fol-owing fields: auto-mechanics, cooling-air conditioning, electricity-building. Students are given theoretical and practical class sessions..

The impact of the 2017-2018 Fe y Alegría experience in Chad Thanks to such activities, Fe y Alegría has secured the operation of its schools, despite the strikes affecting the academic year. This is why government authorities have noted the significant contribution of Fe y Alegría to the educational system and have congratulated the national offices for the work we have done.

As for school cam-paigns and “Weekend-Filles”, Fe y Alegría realized that these awareness sessions provided for an opportunity to bind forces of the different entities and institutions working in the educational field. Also, the support of AMEs through the AGRs has boosted an empowering dynamic of schools through the pay of teachers and professors by parents, which is deeply stimu-lating. The follow-up of the formation giv-en to teachers and monitors has enabled to witness an improvement of the educa-tional system.

Chile Chile, education with human values These three initiatives reflect the reality of #FeyAlegría, an education that goes beyond the academics, a more humane education.

“Help that Heals” Driven by the request for help for Fe y Alegría Venezuela and aware of the social situation this country is facing, this year we decided to organize our first solidarity campaign as network. This initiative, which we called “Help that Heals”, intended to collect medicines and funds from 22 schools of the Red Educacional Ignaciana in Chile, which took place in June 6 – 22, 2018 involving students, representatives and the entire school community.

Thanks to this campaign we were able to collect and send through a diverse and creative set of channels, over 100 kilos of different types of medicines to Fe y Alegría Venezuela. We helped many brothers and sisters by making a small contribution to relieve their pain. The nicest thing about this is that we did together for a solidarity cause and excited by our spirit of collaboration.

Meeting of Teachers of Fe y Alegría Chile May 9, 2018 was a day that will be forever imprinted on the history of Fe y Alegría Chile. With the participation of over 350 people, including directors, professors, education assis-tants and former students we held a meeting that summoned all schools to reflect on and immerse our-selves in the essence of Fe y Alegría.

This time, and in addition to the entire national team, we were joined

by Carlos Fritzen S.J., Co-ordinator of Federación Internac-ional de Fe y Alegría, and Marco Gómez S.J., executive Secretary. The presence of both leaders constituted a major contribution to encourage the delving into identity topics and to provide a broader context of what Fe y Alegría means for the locations where it operates.

Celebrating a decade of the Sube Conmigo program!

Sube Conmigo is a program providing a human formation ex-perience for students of Fe y Alegría schools through hiking events across different mountains of Santiago once a month.

This experience, which is supported by teachers and volun-teers, works values such as en-gagement, companionship, per-severance, teamwork, empathy and caring for nature. This work is coordinated by the national office and by a team of volunteers that participate in the different activi-ties, arrangement meetings, and in consistent training sessions.

Colombia Colombia, a common vision between the movement and the organization.

In Colombia, Fe y Alegría has divided its most relevant 2018 actions from the double per-spective of being a Movement while also an Organization.

As for being a Movement, in 2018 it is worth noting the innovation proposals on learning and social transformation, a stake that has led educational institutions to break with the traditional school organization in order to shift to a work related to learning environments: in-ter-disciplinary projects with community inci-dence (PIIC), qualifying and encouraging talents and interests (PTI) and citizenship for coexistence, reconciliation and peace (CCRP); the national education program for peace – Educapaz: a partnership with civil society organizations to help building peace in Colombia through comprehensive rural education and social-emotional, civil, and reconciliation-oriented education. Based on this, we have performed local, research and public policy in-cidence actions; the Red de Iniciativas de De-sarrollo y Empoderamiento Comunitario, which foundation relies on the indignation re-sulting from not accepting the unacceptable, giving birth to the Juvenile Partici-pation proposal, the juvenile network, the art and culture for peace strategies, the juvenile entrepreneurship and community communication; living faith and spirituality which has focused on the senserelated construction proposal as fifth process of the Fe y Alegría Quality Improvement System which assumes identity, spirituality and solidarity commitment as components that have influence through the entire scope of comprehensive educational action;

by Fe y Alegría and the organizations with which we work as network (educapaz and Society of Jesus) to edu-cational sites and communities in which we operate; and especially the New Borders which have been focused on the arrival to the region of Chocó, one of the most forgotten areas in this country.

As from being an Organization, in 2018 Fe y Alegría achieved the stabi-lization of the SAP – ERP system which allows us to support in a reliable manner and using real-time data the information generated throughout our processes (administrative and mission-related) to expedite the man-

agement and decision making processes; the restructuring of the Comprehensive Management System, which was recertified by Bureau Veritas; the “Soñando en grande con Fe y Alegría” campaign through which we aimed to position Fe y Alegría’s image both internally and externally; and the partnership with the Society of Jesus which has enabled us to address jointly the administration of concession sites in addition to other projects; and the initiative Managing the Humane, taking note of the relevance of Fe y Alegría associates in the development of institutional goals, for which we made progress in conducting a position and salary assessment, a compensation and benefits plan, and a wide array of training and accompaniment activities.

Ecuador How does Educational Inclusion progress in Ecuador?

Year 2018 was significant for Educational Inclusion in Ecuador. With the approval of the Bicultural Bilingual Education Model for the Deaf and the issuance of the National Management and Attention Model for Students with Special Educational Needs Associated with Disabilities, the Government tries to settle historical debts in improving educational quality for priority target groups. The lesson learned in this long journey confirms that only Empowered people, aware of their right, demand an education to live with dignity.

Without ignoring the fact that there is a regulatory framework in the country that seeks quality education with equal opportunities, it can be said that the laws are not sufficient to facilitate the enjoyment of such rights and specifically for these groups. Proof of this, the Organic Law of Disabilities passed in 2012 was actually applied 6 years later, and through these instruments, key aspirations in educational inclusion has been ma-terialized and important lessons of political action to the organizations that work in the education of people with functional diversity have been learned. In this sense, Fe y Alegría Ecuador has been involved by motivating collective work, con-

tributing the learning the organization systematizes through its proposal for Educa-tional Inclusion, convinced that the social, historical and cultural context of the popula-tion with functional diversity demands that the conditions to continue with this educational approach be guaranteed, considering their rights and allowing actual participation of people.

El Salvador Youth Employability: A Premise for Fe y Alegría El Salvador During 2018, Fe y Alegría El Salvador inaugurated the facilities of the Youth Employability Office in order to carry out actions and processes to improve employability conditions, entrepreneurial training and return to the educational system, in such a way that young people in vulnerable conditions increase their chances of insertion into decent jobs..

This initiative was fostered by the Non-Formal Education Unit, with the financing of Brücke Le Pont as part of a project for promoting the labor and social insertion of young people in Greater San Salvador.

Thanks to this process, Fe y Alegría took a great step forward in the effort that is being made so that young people have the necessary tools to develop skills and abilities that will allow them to enter the labor market. This is reflected in figures: while in 2017 503 youngsters were served, in 2018 2000 youngsters were served by the Youth Employability Office.

Spain Entreculturas – Fe y Alegría Spain, 2018, a year promoting networking For Entreculturas-Fe y Alegría Spain, 2018 was the year of the 47th International Congress of Fe y Alegría, a meeting held in Madrid that was especially global and diverse. The directors from all the countries that make up the Fe y Alegría network met with representatives of educational institutions, social centers and sister organizations from 11 other countries: a total of 350 people who met to discuss global citizenship, today’s borders and how Fe y Alegría as a global movement responds to those borders. This Congress that was preceded by a meeting between the leaders and delegates of Fe y Alegría with the young people of Red Generacion 21+ and of Spain.

Also with the purpose of exchanging ideas and possible solutions to the current challenges of our society within the framework of the Ob-jectives of Sustainable Development (ODS), 280 young people and teachers from Argenti-na, Brazil, Kenya, Venezuela, Uruguay, Peru, Italy, Spain, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic and Colombia gathered in Madrid for the 6th Global Meeting of the Youth Solidarity Net-work Entreculturas. Under the motto “Aventúrate al encuentro” (Venture to Meet), the workshops and programmed activities invited attendees to think of themselves as fundamental pieces in the achievement of Agenda 2030. The meeting also served to sponsor the International Meeting of Young People from Red Generacion 21+ for which there were almost 80 boys, girls and companions mostly belonging to Fe y Alegría.

All these meetings and spaces for reflection were born from the constant desire to serve better those who need it most. From such will,

also arose our support and our journey together with the popu-lations of Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Colombia, among others, protagonists of invisible exoduses, migrants and refugees from poverty, violence and in search of hospitality. A gesture that we also ratify when we joined, together with the Jesuit Refugee Service, the call of Pope Francis to welcome, protect, promove and integrate refugee populations and influence the United Nations Global Pacts on Migration and Refugees.

For Entreculturas, 2018 ended with the launch of the campaign La Luz de las Niñas (The Light of the Girls), an initiative that also speaks of this discontent with the injustice that leads us not to resign ourselves and to continue fighting against gender violence, threats and fear.

of America Friends of Fe y Alegría consolidates its presence in the United States Friends of Fe y Alegría in the United States was born in 2014 with the aim of making known the global movement of Fe y Alegría among people and entities in the United States and to be a platform for collaboration with the educational mission of the network in Latin America and the Caribbean.

In March 2018, we began a new stage with the appointment of Nate Radomski as Executive Director of Magis Americas. This institution, based in Washington D.C., is the reference for the Jesuit Provincial Conferences of the United States-Canada (JCCU) and Latin America (CPAL), which provides a formal and face-to-face framework for collaboration between both conferences and the development of our mission.

from high schools such as Tampa Jesuit have visited Fe y Alegría in Colombia to connect with young people committed to social transformation. “This was an incredible opportunity for our students,” said Peter Baxter of Tampa Jesuit, “our goal was to listen and learn, so that our students could meet young leaders from Colombia, and have the opportunity to feel like leaders themselves.”

Schools such as Saint Ignatius High School in Cleveland are committed to defending the right to education through the Red Chair campaign, using their creativity to make global education issues more local and more concrete for their school community.

Finally, we carried out the “I’m a Global Citizen” campaign around #GivingTuesday to raise awareness of Fe y Alegría’s work in Haiti and promote reflection on global citizenship.

Similarly, in 2018 we held three important awareness and fundraising events in Miami, Houston and New York, coordinated by Fr. Jesús Rodríguez Villarroel, S.J. and teams of volunteers, encouraging 491 peo-ple to collaborate with the work of Fe y Alegría and other Jesuit works in Venezuela. Throughout that year, Magis Americas managed to collect more than 1.34 million dollars and collaborate with seven countries where Fe y Alegría operates, in addition to sup-porting other entities and networks of the Society in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Our presence in the educational world of the Society of Jesus has also been consolidated through our collaboration with the Jesuit Schools Network (JSN). Students and teachers

Guatemala In Guatemala young people are protagonists The youth of Fe y Alegría Guatemala saw dur-ing 2018 a process of deepening the realities that surround them to discover the biggest problems that affected them. This process in-volved executives, educators and the groups of Organized Youth Prominence -PJO- through workshops, local and national cultural festivals and, finally, a National Youth Meeting that of-ficially launched the Network of Young Protagonists.

But how did we get to the formation of that network? Inspired by the FormAction meth-odology for Participation, 30 training work-shops were held for PJO leaders reaching 1,100 youngsters who, through recreational activi-ties, fairs or workshops, replicated the themes they received for their classmates.

These training activities were focused on the culture of peace, gender equity, citizen val-ues, leadership and participation.

On the other hand, a group of 45 educators from different communi-ties participated in the “Leadership for citizenship” diploma, which of-fered them tools for personal growth, accompaniment and analy-sis of the socio-political reality of the country. This was the seed that inspired young people to recognize that we must work in partnership with others to enrich learning and trans-form the realities and environments that violate our rights.

In addition, the youth leaders who live in the metropolitan area of the

50

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

country, met to analyze the literary cultural content, one from the sport and others to build from the playful image of the society they perceived and affected them.

With this exercise of rapprochement among young people from different backgrounds and experiences, the artistic content was prioritized to express injustices lived and the dreams youths want to reach. This is how the first ParticiPaz Cultural Festival was held, where different groups pre-sented through dance, theater, poetry, rap and song, all the lessons learned during the training months.

But one additional step was needed, reality confronts young people to think about the best ways to transform the world with the support of others. Therefore, in November the ParticiPaz Youth Meeting was held, where 140 youth leaders met with representatives of the Fe y Alegría Central America youth, managers of all educational communities, friends of the Jesuit education network of this country and many organizations that work for youth. For two days, the youth were at the forefront of an event with more than 300 participants who reflected on their reality and made concrete proposals from young people.

For Fe y Alegría Guatemala this exercise represented a very significant learning, since it was the youth who took the floor and who, aware of their reality, offered concrete commitments to transform it. In addition, they invited managers and educators to join forces to carry out the same efforts together. The meeting closed with the commitment to work on three general issues: systematic corruption, care for the envi-ronment and violence in all forms of manifestation.

Fe y Alegría Guatemala has taken on the challenge of deepening these issues and generating actions to ensure the fulfillment of the rights of all children and young people, both within the educational communities and in their social environments.

Haiti values of Haitian culture with young people from other parts of the world. With this participation, it has been possible to verify the positive impact that football has on young Haitians and particu-larly the youth of our educational centers.

We are happy with them and we are proud, we encourage them to continue living the values learned!

Foi et Joie Haiti in the heart of the FIFA Foundation Festival The National Congregational Educational Cen-ter of Canaan (Port-au-Prince), participated in the intervention program Fútbol Más, attend-ing the Soccer World Cup (Russia 2018).

Fútbol Más is a systemic intervention that progressively integrates different agents from the school community and seeks an impact on school life both inside and outside the class. The objective is to strengthen school coexist-ence based on the resilience applied in sports in different school spaces.

For the outstanding participation in the Fútbol Más workshops, Jean Denis ANDERSON, Cyn-thia JOSEPH, both 15 years old and Michelet LAURENT 16 years old, were part of the 4 young leaders who represented Haiti in the World Cup. This event took place from June 25 to July 3, 2018.

The Haitian delegation participated in multiple intercultural activities, managing to share the

Honduras In Honduras, community gardens educate and produce for self-consumption In the Tolupán Las Vegas tribe of Tepemechín large deficiencies are identified. Children can only attend primary education because they do not have basic centers to continue their studies.

In health matters the situation is even worse, since there is no health center or pharmacies. Together with this, the percentage of chronic malnutrition of children under five is almost double in the municipality of Victoria (45%) than the average in Honduras (23%). And the population in extreme poverty stands at 48.5% well above the national average that is 31%.

Fe y Alegría Honduras, within the framework of its 2016-2020 strategic plan, promotes work proposals aimed at strengthening the educa-tional processes of schools of native peoples of the country, which include the Las Vegas Tolupán tribe of Tepemechin.

During 2018, meetings were held with leaders of 13 communities of this tribe with the aim of promoting processes of improvement of eat-ing and nutritional habits from the implemen-tation of family, school and community gar-dens for self-consumption. In these meetings, a baseline of the situation of these communities regarding food habits, family income and agricultural practices was raised. This information has served as a starting point to develop the training and accompaniment actions that have been promoted in these 13 communities as of July.

In this framework, training meetings were held with teachers, families, male and female leaders of the Tolupan people on the following topics:

1. Preparation and mainte-nance of abonera and preparation of bokashi.

2. Preparation of nutritional-ly balanced dishes.

3. Implementation of family, sustainable and ecological agricultural production proposals We have also accompanied the implementation of family and school gardens in the 13 Tolupanas communities. The result of this process has been the first harvest of tomatoes, radish, cabbage, sweet pepper, celery, onion, cu-cumber and carrot.

It is important to mention that these actions have involved the necessary articulation with other institutions in the area such as the Health Center, the Foun-dation in Community Action of Honduras (FUNACH), the patrons of the Tolupanas communities and the Municipal Government. In fact, the creation of a municipal network to address the issue of nutrition, health and education in the Tolupán people is promoted in the area to ensure the sustainability and durability of the proposal once the project is completed.

first approach to technology, considering that they are in very remote places where access is difficult or nil.

The students of the schools that received furniture began to use the desks and chairs to write. Parents are very happy.

Another of the great achievements is the reforestation initiative with native trees that children carry out with their parents.

On the other hand, in the emergency of the cyclone, boys and girls and parents had the opportunity to have medical assistance, since they suffered from different diseases: diarrhea, malaria, schistosomiasis; In the end they were cured and happily returned to school.

In all these actions we were accompanied by students, par-ents, communities, doctors, professors, Jesuits and reli-gious.

Fe y Alegría Madagascar continues to work to offer the best opportunities to children In Fe y Alegría Madagascar we highlight several actions carried out during 2017-2018:

The National Office, in a continuous process of improvement, makes every effort to help chil-dren who are in the most re-mote places.

1. Informatics classes for boys and girls in the two centers located in Ikalama-vony and Solila 2. Provision of tables and chairs for some schools.

3. Training for boys and girls about the envi-ronment in the line of “Laudato Si” by Pope Francis 4. Assistance to children victims of the cyclone.

5. Construction of community schools.

The impact of these actions has been quite broad. The children have been able to have a

Nicaragua Young people of the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua trained in technical courses Year 2018 was a difficult year for Nicaragua due to the socio-political crisis this country is facing since April last year; however, in Fe y Alegría we continue to fulfill our educational work to ensure that girls, boys, adolescents and young people can exercise their right to education, participating in our quality education system that favors their integral learning and promotes gender equity.

One of our lines of action was life training, with the aim of improving the conditions of employability and/or professional qualification of secondary school students in our network of schools nationwide. However, we also fo-cus on opening new frontiers through the “Training for young people of the South Caribbean Coast for employment and life” project, through the Aprendo y Emprendo program.

The objective of this program is based on of-fering young people of the Caribbean Coast under 29 years of age a technical education, which for this population group constitutes a relevant job training, so that they can face and overcome inequalities in the labor market and have a positive career life.

In that sense, in 2018 we successfully devel-oped and completed the specialized training of 70 young people at the level of specialist technician in Automotive Mechanics in the municipalities of Nueva Guinea and El Rama, and specialist technician in Residential Electric-ity in El Rama, as part of this program that be-gan in May 2016.

To continue serving the South Carib-bean Coast of Nicaragua, a territory with high poverty rates and low schooling, during 2019 we will continue to support programs of technical studies and socio-labor insertion in homes for at risk adolescents in El Rama, with the aim to increase the number of young people who have the opportunity to receive vocational technical training and increase the potential for job placement, by up-dating the courses they will receive during the 2019-2020 period.

Panama Fe y Alegría Panama, from local to national Fe y Alegría Panama seeks to show different perspectives based on solidarity, inclusion and equity. These place the process of social transformation at the heart of our proposal of popular education and social promotion, based on the “liberating” Ignatian pedagogy that is possible both in the formal education as in non-formal education. We seek to build people’s capacities to analyze and question reality; to have a critical posture that allows learning and unlearning and above all to develop contextualized alternative proposals.

Our strategies are framed in the priority Federal areas and from them we seek to strengthen the processes of: •

Institutional Strengthening: An identity process has been imple-mented that enables administrative management and its public visibility, by updating the regulatory legal framework that governs institutional work; developing the institutional pedagogical framework that defines the horizon of work, positioning the institutional participation in spaces that contribute to the mission objectives.

• Popular Education: It seeks to continue contributing to the strengthening of educational management, non-formal education and intercul-tural bilingual education to contribute to the process of integral development for The most vulnerable population. For this purpose, it has been implemented the teach-er training by formal and non-formal educational processes. Within the framework of formal education, since 2015 it has implemented teacher training

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

59

nationwide in innovative classroom strategies and around 2,500 teachers have been trained in the country’s public sector educational centers.

• In 2018, training was carried out for young people from the communities of marginal areas of the capital, for this purpose a program was developed that consists of providing accompaniment for community self-management. In this process, around 80 fami-lies and about 200 young people between 14 and 25 years of age benefited from the community of San Joaquin, Pedregal district.

• Bilingual intercultural education. Since its inception, Fe y Alegría has carried out a process of accompaniment to the indigenous areas of the country, specifically in the Ngäbe and Bugle Region located in the western area of the Panamanian isthmus. This has allowed us to provide a community formation space, growth spaces for children, teacher training and implementation of programs in bilingual intercultural education.

• New Borders (Social Promotion): In this new institutional stage, Fe y Alegría manages a proposal that will benefit the less-favored communities, which are experiencing greater inequality and acute levels of social exclusion.

• Accompaniment to migrant population. This process has contributed to the promotion of the rights of migrants and refugees in Panama, through the development of recep-tion and protection actions that generate the conditions for the promotion and inte-gration of labor in Panamanian society. On the other hand, field studies have been car-ried out to learn about migrant experiences in the areas of Paso Canoas, and in the towns of Pedregal, Mañanitas, Pacora, Tocumen and 24 de Diciembre in Panama.

These studies provide information and analysis to support a work proposal that provides timely support to the most vulnerable migrants. Fe y Alegría Panama belongs to a national and international network that provides humanitarian aid.

Paraguay Peace-Building Paths In October 2018, a National Peace Pilgrimage was made from the Cecilio Báez district to the city of San Joaquin in the department of Caaguazú: ´Jaguata Yvy Marane’y Rekavo’. This name derives from a Guarani myth, which referred to the Guarani pilgrimage in the search for a land that produce by itself and where the festivities last a long time. This symbolism of abundance and festivity represents a space of solidarity and sharing the word to encourage the construction of a culture of peace.

Since 2015 in Fe y Alegría at the international level, the experience of youth training regard-ing Culture of Peace and Citizenship has been carried out, and since 2018 Paraguay joined this federative initiative for the first time where 356 people participated among the youth, parents and teachers of 22 educational centers of Fe y Alegría Paraguay.

for the Educators and another one for the Parents, thus reaching all members of the educational community.

Why do we build peace paths?

In our contexts, there are many situations of violence that do not allow us to be more human and that dis-tances us in our daily relation-ships. Instead of an education based on competition, we want to provide an education focused on collaboration, learning and collective growth of our youngsters, teachers and their families. We dream of a participatory, responsible educational community, transformative of society.

This experience seeks to improve the relation-ship conditions between the actors of the ed-ucational action, in order to implement an ac-tive citizen culture and with the values that foster peaceful coexistence.

It is a training process through face-to-face workshops that addresses the different themes that train and inform citizens, so that they can know their rights, can find spaces for dialogue, learning, fun and all that makes a re-sponsible and active citizen in the place where he/she lives.

The educational intention of Fe y Alegría is focused on all its beneficiaries, children, youth and adults. That is why the “Peaceful Coexistence from the Gospel” formation program makes a path for the Students, another one

ple or institutions, but principles that are discerned according to people, cultures, times, (3) the values in Fe y Alegría refer to three ethical axes: human dignity, sol-idarity and justice, are not therefore simply a specific subject or process: they go through everything we do, they are transmitted and carried out in our practices and in the quality of our relationships.

A central process in Fe y Alegría del Peru during 2018 was the reflection and review of our practices and approaches to “Education in Values”. This type of training is a central distinc-tive sign of the Fe y Alegría educational pro-posal and therefore its revision required the participation of the entire Movement through various means: 1. We dedicate the National Annual Meeting of promoters and directors to this sub-ject.

2. The accompaniment of management teams of each institution that sought to deepen our ethical practices in the II.EE. 3. Videos and dissemination materials were produced.

4. The annual Fe y Alegría campaign focused on the ethical issue and was called #MasEducacionEnValores.

5. The book “Ética y educación en Fe y Alegría.

Revisión de nuestras prácticas educativas para la formación en valores (Ethics and Education in Fe y Alegría. A Review of Our Educational Practices for Education in Values) was published.

At the end of the process, which must continue, we confirm some points of consensus around our ethical proposal in education. (1) The values in Fe y Alegría have Christian foun-dations, we choose the sermon on the moun-tain as the biblical and theological basis of our reflection, but they are carried out as human-istic ethics and political citizenship: our Chris-tian principles support a secular and citizen ethic, (2) the values in Fe y Alegría are discerned: they are not universal behaviors to be imposed on peo-

The process allowed us to think to-gether, critically review our practices and revitalize our commitment with the formation of full, free and re-sponsible people with the capacity to discern, because, as Pope Francis says, “We have been called to form consciences, not to replace them” (Amoris Laetitia, 37).

that it is urgent to favor a holis-tic approach to the three forms of education: formal, non-formal and in-formal. This ap-proach has the advantage of helping to reduce the insuffi-ciencies of “traditional school” in order to help the poor so that they can enjoy the right to education.

We continue to Grow: Fe y Alegría Democratic Republic of the Congo Since the beginning of 2015, in the village of In-iangi, Fe y Alegría, DR Congo has worked to improve the quality of education. The right of everyone to a quality education has become its cornerstone. In the three networks (Ki- santu - Kimwenza - Kikwit), where its roots are consolidated, Fe y Alegría promotes quality education for the less favored.

The year 2017-2018 was declared the “Year of Innovations” for the promotion of a holistic approach to education. Indeed, economic pre-cariousness has reinforced the rigidity of for-mal education, thus violating the right to edu-cation of thousands of children and adults in vulnerable conditions. This dim view indicates, on the one hand, that in the Democratic Re-public of the Congo there is no balance be-tween the supply and demand of education; on the other hand,

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, several reports by international organizations un-derline characteristics that re-veal the obsolete nature of the education system: a high rate of illiteracy among adults and young people in rural, peri-urban and urban areas; little in-vestment in education by politi-cal leaders; a high dropout and grade repetition rate; increase in unemployment and educa-tion programs disconnected from labor demand; etc. It is generally observed that the State is depleted, and parents are suffocated by the negative effects of underdevelopment.

Consequently, the street be-comes the most popular educa-tional environment.

Faced with such a complex situ-ation, Fe y Alegría DR Congo committed itself in 2017-2018 to continue its program to rein-force the capacities of educa-tional actors (teachers, princi-pals, parents, students) schools in the periphery or more disad-vantaged.

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

63

But to make sense of the project to promote a holistic approach to education, new programs were launched: radio literacy for illiterate youth and adults; school conferences for high school youth on current issues (protection of minors, right to education, ecology, ICT, etc.); professional learning programs in the schools of the Society of Jesus; reading, writing and arithmetic camps to help students with more deficiencies in the sixth grade of primary school; and preschool for the children of the most disadvantaged families.

Similarly, during year 2017-2018 Fe y Alegría reinforced its visibility in the Jesuit province of Central Africa and in the three networks where activities are organized. These innovations have been of great help to reach a wide and diversified audience. In particular, the radio literacy program has contributed significantly to such visibility. This new step in growth re-mains decisive, and it poses to the national team the challenge of living up to the difficul-ties in equipping themselves with the essential tools to guarantee that success.

In addition, the new direction of Fe y Alegría RD Congo in 2017-2018 has allowed it to open a lot to the world and benefit from the opportunities presented by networking. With this new range of activities, the national office has considered it convenient to create partner-ships with other Fe y Alegría units, as well as with other institutions that work in the educa-tion sector. Hence the idea of partnering with Radio Ecca from the Canary Islands to strengthen the distance literacy program.

Dominican Republic Quality Improvement System Fe y Alegría in Dominican Republic In the last two years, Fe y Alegría Dominican Republic has promoted a process of contextu-alization of the Quality Improvement System (SMC); this “adaptation” was assumed as a na-tional commitment by all 47 educational cen-ters from the initial level to the secondary lev-el. In the process coordinated by the peda-gogy department of the National Office, a phase of review and reconstruction of the dif-ferent process macro-indicators and the prep-aration of questionnaires in accordance with the context and Educational System of the Dominican Republic. In this activity, there has been timely guidance and advice from the Dominican Institute for Educational Quality As-sessment (IDEICE).

After recovering the historical memory of the process with the centers, agreements were

concluded to relaunch the SMC taking into account the level of incorporation, commitment, understanding and progress in the SMC; in this way, 30 centers assumed to continue in the reflection phase and 17 began the process again from the evaluation phase.

In addition, the “flattening” or contextualization has meant a long process of sensitization and awareness to the entire educational community to guarantee the conditions and guide the direction for the im-provement of the educational quality from the popular edu-cation; through the constitu-tion of quality teams (Centers and National Office), meetings with quality links, preparation of teaching guides for the different actors, and integrated support to the centers.

In the current Agreement signed with the Ministry of Education, Fe y Alegría SMC is recognized as one of the great contributions from Fe y Alegría to the improvement of the quality of the educational centers -Public education of the Dominican Educational System, in this way progress is made with the belief that “if we dream it, we can achieve it”.

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

Uruguay Fe y Alegría In Uruguay Celebrated its 10th Anniversary of Work for Education.

Its tenth anniversary finds Fe y Alegría Uruguay consolidated as an education network in which more than 2,000 children and adolescents participate. The network consists of 26 educational units of which 11 are directly managed by Fe y Alegría Uruguay. The trust achieved both at the level of state authorities, families and private funders, has allowed a very significant growth in the coverage and quality of the proposal that meets the specific demands of the State and communities.

The development and implemen-tation of new intervention programs, tools and methodologies together with other relevant ac-tors of the Catholic University of Uruguay, the University of Monte-video, FLACSI and references of other organizations of organized civil society, place Fe y Alegría Uru-guay in a very important position when thinking about strategies to improve the educational quality of the country.

In particular, in recent years, special emphasis has been placed on the stage of early childhood (0 to 3 years) through the implementation of specific educational methodologies that break the traditional scheme of an educator per classroom and allow boys and girls choose the workshops of which they will participate daily. This form of work improves their performance, favors their autonomy and reduces the stress of educators.

Likewise, the positive parenting program has consolidated work with families by strengthening parental roles through positive psychology tools.

In Uruguay, most Fe y Alegría educational centers are focused on non-formal education.

There, children and adolescents participate basic school and high school. Children’s clubs and youth centers are privileged spaces for cognitive stimulation processes since they have an hourly load that exceeds those of formal centers and have specialized technical teams that allow us to offer more personalized attention. The different work modalities in these centers are model and have been recognized and sought to be replicated by the Institute of children and adolescents of Uruguay.

Venezuela

Fe y Alegría in Venezuela: More than a School Facing the food emergency has been one of the great challenges of Fe y Alegría Venezuela. This food security project was born to improve the conditions of children, youth and adults who attend the Educational Centers and to remain in the system with real possibilities of learning, with basic nutrition (food, health and protection). In 2018, 30,627 people were served in 61 schools in the country.

Among the main advances, we can point out the strengthening in the logistic aspects of food acquisition, distribution and storage in schools and the different modalities of food care adjusted to the context of each commu-nity and educational center. Fe y Alegría in Venezuela has tried to respond in new ways to new emerging realities.

In terms of growth, during the first months of 2019, we will serve ten thousand five hundred (10,500) more people in 10 dining rooms in the same number of schools.

2018 Annual Report / International Federation of Fe y Alegria

Peace-Promoting Mothers This program emerged as a training proposal throughout the country for mothers and fathers to acquire tools that allow them to raise awareness of their childhood wounds and heal them, as well as to know their internal abilities to promote peaceful co-existence in their home, in the educational center of their children and prevent or reduce the factors of violence in their community.

An annual meeting is held with the objective of finding a space for the exchange and socialization of the experiences carried out by the different groups formed in each educational center during the school year to enrich, strengthen and diversify strategies in schools and entities where they have a presence. At the end of 2018, 633 people were trained as facilitators in this program that is present in 21 cities in the country.

Education and Productivity, the Entrepreneurial Learning Unit (UEA) Café y Alegría This organization focuses its activity on lifelong learning based on the ap-plication of the Lean Startup method, which implies completing the cycle (Create, Measure and Learn). Therefore, it is not a company whose purpose is to produce and sell coffee. It is a school that teaches from the coffee process, and which product is sold and helps with its financing.

Likewise, it focuses on the formation of fathers, mothers and representa-tives; on the recovery of coffee parcels in schools, on collective decision making and the administration, and organization of economic resources based on the sustainability of the educational project of the Farming School: Café y Alegría.

The creation of this “Café y Alegría” edu-cational entrepreneurship project seeks to provide the possibility of improving and transforming the productive model of coffee and of the different existing agricultural items in the peasant zone, through the implementation of the new models and approaches for entrepreneurship, in training spaces, so that in the future, rural families not only have initiatives but also dare to start their own businesses.

It is noteworthy that during 2018 more than 10,000 kilos of coffee were sold, so it is expected that with the income and re-sults of this proposal, the productive spaces of the schools can be improved and recovered by incorporating new techniques from an agroecological approach, conceived as a classroom work-shop where students can develop compe-tencies through research, experimentation, observation and development of various cognitive and meta-cognitive processes.

Pedagogical Innovation in Preschool in situations with a high vulnerability level Fe y Alegría Venezuela, given the need to take steps towards the transformation of educational proposals in coherence with the demands of the 21st century, including the country’s own demands, has es-tablished alliances to carry out a process of change that includes the incorporation of transformation in 11 pilot centers in different geographical points of Venezuela. The intention is to develop capacities, competencies and potentials in students, through comprehensive training, the use of early stimulation programs, active strategies and methodologies.

Academic performance has improved signifi-cantly with advances in intrapersonal and in-terpersonal skills, greater accep-

tance of oneself, recognizing themselves and recognizing peers, being more friendly, outgoing, more expressive orally and bodily; as for their gross and fine motor skills they have been strengthening, and they are in better physical and cognitive conditions to learn.

INTERtwined

For a Cause: The Mission of Christ

Deciding to work in a network is a challenge for any organization. Collaboration is essential for success and the achievement of goals. Under these premises the Conference of Jesuit Provincials of Latin America and the Caribbean -CPALhas been working so that all the networks and works of the Society of Jesus focus their efforts towards a same direction.

In 2018, during the annual meeting of the Expanded Team of the CPAL, held in Panama, and of which the International Federation of Fe y Alegría is part, the efforts that each network is making, were shared in a climate of fraternity and commitment to the Society’s Mission. During this meeting, it was sought to find the best way to intertwined us to multiply forces, achieve common goals and results and thus enhance the impacts on life and mission thereof.

The great message here is: “collaboration in the heart of the mission”. Collaboration with others for the mission of Christ. This team aims to promote that mission in collaboration with all those who wish to adhere to the way of proceeding of the Society of Jesus, whether they are religious or lay people, whether in the works of the Society or other-wise.

As Fr. Roberto Jaramillo S.J., president of the CPAL pointed out, “Collaboration is a way of living the faith, a dynamic, effective and affective association that builds a Christian community and promotes local, national, continental and global apostolic networks.”
