Social Justice
Accanto agli ultimi
Con poveri ed emarginati, in chiave educativa, favorendo nella persona accolta la riappropriazione della sua dignità, autonomia e responsabilità, per una nuova progettazione del singolo e della comunità, anche a livello politico, economico e legislativo.
Jesuit Social Network
Founded in 2004, it brings together 39 entities engaged in the social field: associations, groups, cooperatives, training centers, study and research centers. The interaction of these different areas – culture, research and field work – enables a vitality and richness that inspire new approaches and solutions in complex and frontier contexts.
