Fostering Civic and Political Leaders

IAJU is committed to promote programs of formation of civic and political leaders to better serve the common good, stressing the responsibility of the political class to build sustainable, humane and just societies, using Catholic Social Teaching as our “curriculum.”

The goals of the programs in this area are to advance education and intercultural dialogue in a critical area; to strengthen collaborative ties across Jesuit colleges and universities; to embody the Jesuit mission of education in service to the world; and to raise the profile of the IAJU as an innovator in global higher education.
