The Global Centre for Catholic Leaders at The University of Notre Dame Australia is drawing together Catholic school and system leaders from different countries for an eight-day symposium at Villa Palazzola, near Rome.
Following on from a similar and successful symposium in 2024, the symposium will deepen participants’ understanding of the unique resources lying within the Catholic Tradition that address wellbeing and mental health challenges affecting many students and staff in our various educational settings, and devise fresh ways of responding in the service of authentic human flourishing.
With global presenters, including:
- Fr Eamonn Conway, Professor of Integral Human Development, UNDA
- Dr Leonardo Franchi, Professor of Education, Glasgow University/UNDA
- Dr Judith King, Theologian and Psychotherapist
- Rev Mark Powell, Director of Religious Education, Catholic Education Western Australia
- Laura Avery, Director, Global Centre for Catholic Leaders, UNDA
Program highlights:
- From wellbeing to human flourishing: mining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition
- Reflecting on Pope Leo XIV’s teaching on Integral Human Development and formation for mission
- Discerning existing policies and frameworks in our educational settings regarding wellbeing and mental health
- Sharing current best practice across participants’ diverse Catholic educational contexts
- Caring for the whole school community: principals, teachers, administrators, as well as students
- Taking it all home: from reflection and discernment to policy and practice
The program will include a pilgrimage to St Peter’s Basilica and meetings with the relevant dicasteries of the Holy See.
From a principal participant at the 2024 symposium: “The learning undertaken has been profoundly enriching, deepening an understanding of Catholic education as a shared mission centred on the flourishing of every person. It sharpened the importance of shaping policies, supports and leadership that places full flourishing of all persons at the centre of our mission in Catholic education.”
Dates: 18–25 April 2027 (eight days)
Venue: Villa Palazzola, near Rome, Italy
Cost: $2800 AUD / €1750 / £1500
