【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2017 年 11月 21 日西班牙奥维耶多訊】 ─ 西班牙天主教學校聯會 (FTE-CECA) 及 (EyG)，於奥维耶多舉行第14屆會議。會中討論溝通議題，以及溝通對教育的影響。會議由國家天主教學校聯會及阿斯圖里亞斯天主教學校聯會的領袖合辦，於11月16至18日舉行，與會者逾1,600人，包括校長、教師及其他來自世界各地的教育界人士。「大聖雅各伯」長上暨西班牙天主教學校聯會主席，慈幼會Juan Carlos Pérez Godoy神父，為會議揭幕及閉幕禮主持人。
Godoy神父表示，大會有三個目的：深化天主教學校之間的歸屬感；表達天主教學校的內涵，使這些學校受到公共機構及教會的認識與認可；以及認識教育在於溝通，教育在於相遇。這位慈幼會士憶述教宗方濟各交付這些說話給整個慈幼修會時表示：「沒有溝通就沒法進行相遇；要做得有成效，必須觸動人心。要在青年中間，使用他們最能明白的語言，即發自內心的語言。」
天主教學校聯會常務秘書長José Maria Alvira，解釋揀選溝通作為大會主題的原因。他說：「談論教育，就是談論溝通，教師、學生及家庭之間溝通的內容，以及傳遞訊息的方法，都十分重要，尤其是現世代。」有關大會的口號「Emoziona」方面，他又表示「溝通達致感情」，因此，「訊息必須能引發情感。」
阿斯圖里亞斯天主教學校聯會的秘書Carlos Robla表示，很高興參與了三天的大會，他說：「大會提醒我們，天主教學校早於十九世紀末，當首批修會到達阿斯圖里亞斯這個採礦區時，已成立起來，讓當地人們接觸教會文化。」
在三天的會議中，來自歐洲不同地區的講者，發表他們的論文。第14屆會議負責人Victoria Moya及Pérez Godoy神父，在閉幕禮時表示，實踐情感的溝通的重要性，已清楚表達出來，溝通是為學生的需要，以及我們生活的世代而設的。
這位慈幼會士總結時說：「最先的情感 是教育者在默觀靜賞每一位個別的學生而在內心產生的。 」
Fr Juan Carlos Pérez Godoy, SDB: “The first emotion is born in the heart of the educator”
(ANS – Spain –Oviedo, 21 November 2017) – The Catholic Schools of Spain – (FTE-CECA) and (EyG) – held their XIV Congress in Oviedo. It focused on the topic of communication and its influence in the field of education. Organized by the leaders of the national Catholic schools and the Catholic schools of Asturias, the 16-18 November event gathered over 1,600 people, including principals, teachers and other figures from the world of education. Fr Juan Carlos Pérez Godoy, SDB, Superior of “St. James Major” and President of the Catholic Schools in Spain, inaugurated and closed the event.
There were three objectives, said Fr Godoy: to deepen the sense of belonging to Catholic schools; to express what the Catholic schools are, to make them known and acknowledged by public institutions and the Church; and to recognize that educating is communicating, education is meeting. “There is no meeting without communication; if it wants to be effective, it must touch the heart,” said the Salesian recalling the words Pope Francis entrusted to the Salesian Congregation: “to be among the young with the language they understand best, that of the heart.”
The Secretary General of the Catholic Schools, José Maria Alvira, explained the choice of the theme of the Congress on communication. “Talking about education is talking about communication,” he said, adding that today more than ever “both the content of the message and how it is transmitted between teachers, students, and families are important.” In relation to the slogan of the Congress – “Emoziona” – he added that “communication reaches the affections,” and for this reason, “it must be a message that arouses emotions.”
Carlos Robla, Secretary of the Catholic Schools of Asturias, said it was a pleasure to have lived the three days of the congress which, he said, “reminds us all that we are here, that the Catholic school in Asturias has been around since the end of the 19th century when the first religious institutions arrived in the mining areas to offer the population access to culture.”
During the three-day congress, speakers from various parts of Europe each presented their papers. The Director of the XIV Congress, Victoria Moya, and Fr Pérez Godoy, closed the congress throughout which the importance of practicing emotional communication was clearly demonstrated, communication geared to the needs of the students and the present time in which we live.
“The first emotion is born in the heart of the educator in silently contemplating every single pupil,” concluded the Salesian.
