Congreso Fe y Alegría 2018
Between September 29th and 30th, people from Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe representing more than 22 Fe y Alegría National Offices will meet in El Escorial, Madrid. They will reflect and dialogue about the Congress’ themes, in order to grow as a global movement responding to its challenges
Round-table discussions, inspirational talks and testimonials will help the attendees to approach the frontiers that are questioning Fe y Alegría and to understand how the Federation is responding to this issue as a global movement.
We will invite the participants to look at Fe y Alegría’s future with hope. Led by the hand of experts, NGO members and workshops we will reflect on the upcoming opportunities and challenges.
