Uniservitate <\/span><\/a>and <\/span>LUMSA University<\/span><\/a> organizes the <\/span>III Global Symposium Uniservitate, <\/b><\/a>\u00a0a multicultural meeting that will bring together leading specialists in the field of education and participants from all around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the theme <\/span>“Service – Learning and Global Compact on Education: Educating for Fraternity in Higher Education”<\/b>, on October 27th and 28th, 2022, more than 30 Catholic Institutions of Higher Education from 26 countries of the five continents will participate in the event that seeks to promote an integral formation and actively involve the new generations with the problems of our time. This third meeting, which is free and open to the public, and which will be held in person for the first time, stands out for its great cultural richness since it is a point of convergence of more than 15 languages and experiences shared by more than 525,000 students and 70,000 educators from all over the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mar\u00eda Nieves Tapia, director of CLAYSS<\/b> explains: <\/span>“This third edition of the Global Symposium will allow us to reflect and debate with a plurality of voices, but above all to share concrete experiences that already show new ways of teaching, learning, researching and linking with the community. In the simultaneous sessions, the major issues facing the Global Education Pact will enter into dialogue with experiences from all over the world that are already trying to respond to them. We look forward to inspiring each other, building bridges, and continuing to weave an ever-expanding network.”<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

During these two intensive days of thematic panels and multiple activities, educational leaders, directors, teachers, and students from public and private Catholic universities from all over the world will have the opportunity to exchange experiences, reflect and debate on the role of educational institutions in addressing the problems of their environments and society as a whole, as well as in the integral formation of leaders committed to their community. The meeting will include conferences, round tables with debates among various speakers, sessions, and workshops. All activities will be interpreted in English, Spanish and Italian,<\/span><\/p>\n

The meeting also proposes <\/span>to give prominence to universities with social commitment<\/b>, which have been able to develop virtual and face-to-face programs in the context of pandemics and provide a space to share how to innovate in university life, implementing solidarity service and learning practices that allow them to integrate academic learning with concrete actions of transformation of students and the community as a whole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As one of the leading institutions in teaching, employment, research, and student experience, LUMSA University of Rome contributes to the strengthening of society. For <\/span>Maria Cinque, director of the School of Higher Education EIS <\/b>(Educate to Encounter and Solidarity) <\/span>of LUMSA University<\/b>, <\/span>“this symposium is a great opportunity to learn about and deepen good practices that articulate academic education and solidarity action, thus favoring the integral formation of students as responsible citizens, critical and creative protagonists, with a vision of the future<\/span><\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Uniservitate programme has a global network in constant expansion, an international research team, and institutional support plans implemented from regional nodes, strategically distributed in the 5 continents. This third edition of the Symposium will focus on the following thematic areas: <\/span>1. Dignity and Human Rights; 2. Fraternity and Cooperation; 3. Technology and Integral Ecology; 4. Peace and Citizenship; 5. Cultures and Religions.<\/b><\/p>\n
