On October 26-31, the Continental Network of Popular Education began the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Continental Network of Popular Education in Bogotá, Colombia with the theme: “40 Years of Weaving a Network: Celebrating History, Opening New Paths in Community.”

Representatives from different countries—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, the United States, and Colombia—gathered to share dreams, knowledge, and approaches to popular education, guided by the JPIC mission. A meeting that crosses borders and touches hearts, where every word, gesture, and experience renews hope in an education that liberates, unites, and transforms.

Thank you to the Province of Colombia for its warm welcome and for making this gathering a space of communion, learning, and hope.
