Stirring the Soul – Formation of Catholic Educators and Leaders

Stirring the Soul, what an inspirational way to lead those interested in education into an exploration of educational responsibilities!

Professional Seminar

This professional development seminar develops Pope Francis’ belief and offers ways to embrace enthusiastically one’s professional calling. The formation opportunity embraces three key principles for a contemporary model of mission formation for Catholic educators and leaders: to be personally meaningful, ecclesially faithful and strategically effective.

Facilitated by Dr Jill Gowdie, this seminar will allow participants to discuss and critique models of spiritual formation in the Catholic educational setting, and explore practical ideas and underpinning processes that participants can use and adopt into their own leadership contexts.
