The ERCBNA Office of Educational Services and the ACTION Team are pleased to welcome you to the 2021 ACTION Student Leadership Workshop.
When Cristiana asked me to present some ideas on my Vision for Edmund Rice Schools, I put together some thoughts that speak to Mission, Vision and Values in the context of the Consortium of Edmund Rice Schools, inclusive of the seven countries that now form our Province: Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Dominica, Peru, Uruguay and the United States.
In response to the continued incidents of racial justice in the United States in May of 2020, the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers North America Province made a commitment to promote and encourage antiracism in our schools in North America. In addition to resources that were created and published online during the summer, the Mission Frère Advocacy Office has continued to hold conversations about how we can continue to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in our schools.
Some of the highlights of virtual events for the ERCBNA community include: Celebrating the Artistic Genius of Br. Ken Chapman, Teaching and Learning in the Edmund Rice Tradition, and Pope Francis and the Human Community.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, various members and groups of the Edmund Rice Global Network have stayed busy advocating for a variety of human rights virtually with the United Nations.
