JWL

“One of the great achievements of JWL has been to refuse false choices. It has refused the choice between quality and access, between global standards and local relevance, between technology and human relationship, between individual advancement and community transformation,” said Dr Richard Brosse, Head of Vital Catholic Thought, Porticus, speaking at Jesuit Worldwide Learning’s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland (28 September).

Since its launch in 2017, the GEL programme has reached 32,000 learners across 100 centers in more than 30 countries. Cambridge University has supported the program through teacher training initiatives and the creation of learning materials and exams, with over 30,000 Cambridge English tests taken to date.

This six-month short-cycle tertiary programme, accredited (in Spanish) by the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali, is designed to address the needs of communities all over the world to promote responsible tourism that allows the generation of income, while preserving the community’s fragile resources.
