Summertime, with due regard for the necessary resting period, is also a good time for carrying out high-value activities for one’s own human, spiritual and cultural growth. For this reason, the schools of the Jesuit Education Network offer, in one way or another, various initiatives, which are broken down by category, age and modality: summer camps, courses, workshops and pilgrimages. Among the network initiatives, we can find the “journeys” and the missionary camps. “The network journeys (#cammineRete2018)” says father Jimmy Bartolo SJ, “proposed to our students are two: the journey from Xavier to Loyola, from the 19th to the 28th July on the subject instability and transgression: Jesuits and choices; and the journey towards Santiago de Compostela, from the 29th July to the 10th August, on the subject: we need roots and wings: I choose God. The missionary camps, instead, are organized in collaboration with the Student Missionary League, and offer various service shifts in Sighet, Romania, in Perù, in Africa (Kenya) and in other locations. “In this way” he adds, “the summer experience becomes a service to the neighbour, in a different country and in contact with other people, families and cultures, in order to grow, humanly speaking, as men for and with others”.
