Mission:

Systematically and continuously dynamize the collaboration between the IUS that address the issue of education both from the point of view of research, teaching, social projection or educational praxis

Vision:

To direct a synergistic effort between the IUS to participate – and even promote – in a much broader and more open scientific community that is based on continuous relations of exchange of the results of speculation, reflection and experimentation in the specific field of education.

Objetives:

• To generate models of intervention –with a theoretical and practical component– in the field of education, focused on those aspects and perspectives that go along the lines with the Salesian charism and mission.

• To participate actively and purposefully in the research, reflection and action circuits of the international scientific community in the field of education and related sciences.

• To have a qualified own voice in the community in thematic fields that are considered more linked to the charism and to the Salesian pedagogical experience.
