The Advocacy Group of the Xavier Network, the Europe-based Jesuit social network of institutions dedicated to emergencies and development in the Global South, had their annual meeting on the 11th-12th January in the JCEP (Jesuit Conference of European Provincials) office in Brussels. The group mainly addressed the topics of Caring for our Home (advocacy in Ecology), Justice in Mining (in partnership with overseas institutions), as well as strategies and resources needed for successful advocacy campaigns (in alignment with the Jesuit Province structures).

JESC’s Director Filipe Martins sj, and Ecology Officer, Béla Kuslits, were invited to participate in a segment of the meeting, and the entire group then visited JESC to share about the projects in which each institution is involved with. In a world full of complex and urgent challenges (ranging from growing refugee flows to climate change), solutions require focused, collaborative and long-term advocacy work, like the one this group has been engaged in.
