ABOUT OUR PRINCIPLES

They are based on the Michaelian pedagogy that is framed in the dignity and liberation of human being, whose deepest feeling is encountered in the word LOVE, which is part of the direct and personal contact with women. This mentioned pedagogy, guides the formative accompanying of the following principles:
Having a deep respect on woman dignity, autonomy, and faith in her capacity of change and her possibilities of overcoming. Supporting to value in themselves their self-esteem and the sense of her mission in the world as carriers and defenders of life. Developing the knowledge and the capacity of acting personally and collectively. Personalized support for women aimed at improving the quality of life of themselves and their families about:
  • An improvement of those relationships that embrace and value the person for the Self and not for the Have
  • Love as the fundamental attitude for herself, the others, the world and God.
  • Formation of critical and moral conscience as an space of liberty and responsibility.
  • Family and community as an obligated field of realization of the individual.
  • Conservation and improvement of the social and ecological environment.

It emphasizes the central value of the person and the task of liberty as the main points of every formative project. It considers women as the subject of its own formation, capable of making free and responsible decisions that allow her open herself to brand new alternatives of personal and social realization, rejecting manipulation and taking advantage of the new perspectives that media and technology offer, through a rational and critical way, until become an agent of change that supports the familiar and social development by contributing to the liberation of other women.

This is one of the fundamental cores of the human-christian formation that tends to help the individual to discover gradually the human, ethical and christian values and all their nuances that are rooted in the relationship that every person establishes with life and reality. The shared experience and learning of values from the personal dimension until the collective and social one:
  • Respect and love towards life and other human rights
  • Personal experience with God and his unconditional love
  • To form for the responsible participation
  • To foster brotherhood, collaboration and service

Training for working is the fundamental value for human promotion, since it drives women to develop skills, competencies and aptitudes on a creational task of personal and social development. Moreover, working has a therapeutic value because it  recovers and enhances the inner picture and the integration to the working and social world.

The Michaelian Pedagogy  goes beyond the knowledge that women might have, since it will be useless if the individual lacks of a service attitude and capacity to solve and transform determine situations.

Training for working has also the merit of creating “persistence” within women, due to the fact of being forced to overcome obstacles and accomplish determine tasks that demand effort.

A love based formative environment is the beginning, mean and aim of christianism and pedagogy. It goes straight ahead to young women’s heart, who not only feel welcome but really loved. Through this line, love keeps getting young women even in difficult situations, until they understand the necessity they have about overcoming through the formation and training, which contributes by giving a new sense to their lives and families.
