"Pastoral Pedagogy. Initiation", was the first topic of the MAG+S blended learning courses and has been consolidated over the months. From the first edition (Nov. 2019) until the launch of the third edition (Oct. 2020), more than 130 young people from all over Spain have registered to continue training as pastoral agents.

These semi-presential courses were created by the MAG+S Pastoral Office (Pastoral with Young Adults) as a proposal aimed at young people who collaborate as pastoral agents (monitors; catechists, animators...) in some of the institutions that form part of MAG+S, and thus motivate and accompany their process of integral growth.

Thanks to a collaboration

They are carried out thanks to the collaboration of MAG+S, University of DEUSTO and the selfless and essential participation of a large team of tutors, who accompany the students individually throughout the course.

The first year was launched in "pilot mode" with the theme "Pastoral Pedagogy. Initiation". After an excellent reception and rich evaluation, which left us with very good feelings, a second edition was launched, which ended last October. Due to the pandemic situation, which we are still experiencing, the health restrictions and the limitations on travel and meetings imposed, it was not possible to carry out the final activity of the second edition in the programmed format, which is face-to-face. For this reason it was decided to carry it out through a videoconference.

A third edition

In addition, on 29 October 2020 we were able to welcome, in a video conference, the 52 new students who have registered for the third edition. The experience is generating an effective and affective pastoral network of which they are feeling a part. With this, one of the fundamental pillars of the work of MAG+S is materialised: the sense of network.

With much hope and enthusiasm we will continue to offer this proposal which in the month of February will launch the fourth edition of the course of Pastoral Pedagogy Initiation, and the first of "Pastoral Pedagogy. Deepening".

Other activities of the MAG+S Pastoral during the pandemic

Young people are a group that has often been presented as carefree and irresponsible in the face of the pandemic, but who, from one day to the next, have seen the expectations and hopes placed in university life, training projects or the start of a professional career fall.

Through two reports (in Spanish) we give a voice to the pastoral workers and young people who contribute their views, their concerns, and their opinions about the situation that pandemic has brought.
