Last week, the network of La Salle universities \u2014 the\u00a0International Association La Salle Universities (IALU)\u00a0\u2014 held the\u00a0XIII Encuentro, the triennial meeting in which the organization’s plan of action for the coming years is discussed and reflections are made on the current moment of\u00a0university education in the world. More than a hundred representatives of the\u00a064 universities from around the world\u00a0that are currently associated with the IALU worked with this objective, between November 7 and 12, 2022, in the two venues that hosted the XIII Encuentro: the\u00a0Beauvais\u00a0campus of UniLaSalle France and\u00a0La Salle Campus Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Despite its three-year nature, due to the pandemic, four years had passed since the previous Encuentro held in Mexico in 2018, since which 36 new rectors and presidents have joined the IALU universities. On this occasion, the XIII Encuentro had the orientations of the recent\u00a0General Chapter of La Salle\u00a0and its International Mission Assembly. In addition, the event was attended by\u00a0Brother Armin Luistro, Superior General of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, and\u00a0Brother Carlos G\u00f3mez, Vicar General of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The motto of the event is the best synthesis of its objective:\u00a0Transforming the future together. With the XIII Encuentro, IALU has reinforced its position as one of the university networks with the greatest weight and largest volume of students in the world, currently 64 universities worldwide and more than\u00a0300,000 students. Its vision is \u201cto be anefficient university network that, in collaboration with other actors, promotes evangelization and comprehensive education for social responsibility and critical citizenship committed to the social, economic and sustainable development\u00a0of its territories and the world through research and the innovation\u201d. From this vision several working documents were derived that will mark the future of the network, and among which its 2025 Action Plan for the next three years stands out.<\/p>\n

The event held its first three days in\u00a0Beauvais, France, and the last three in\u00a0Barcelona, \u200b\u200bon the La Salle-URL campus. It was here that the initiatives for the\u00a0IALU Action Plan 2025\u00a0were worked on, which incorporates the network’s strategies to promote\u00a0social innovation,\u00a0accessible quality education\u00a0and the training of qualified and committed agents of transformation. The representatives of the organization thought together about the\u00a0role of the network as a trainer of people who help transform society. Also, they committed to being promoters of the\u00a0democratization of knowledge for a more inclusive and sustainable future.<\/p>\n<\/div>
