Edmund Rice Education Beyond Borders - World Congress 2023

Schools for the World Congress 2023

Recently, the Edmund Rice Education Beyond Borders,( EREBB) Congress took place at Dublin City University. A total of around 250 delegates had the opportunity to establish extensive relations with members from all the countries where the EREBB educational network is present. Congregation Leader, Peter Clinch prayed a blessing over the members of Congress in the chapel of the Marino Institute, and CLT member Hugo Cáceres delivered a keynote address on behalf of the CLT. The invited members were more than our lay colleagues and Brothers who minister in the school world. This time, the Congress also included other organisations from the ER, advocacy, and development networks. This Congress was a microcosm of the organisations inspired by the ER's charism. As Pope Francis says, "Enlarge the space of your tent…”(Isaiah 54:2), referring to the Church, EREBB also invited and challenged those present to enlarge the space of their tents, to make the educational movement a more inclusive space and to continue to reflect and dream about the mission of the ER tradition.

EREBB is an International network of Catholic schools educating young people from many different faiths and cultures. We are inspired by the teachings of Jesus, Gospel values and the spirit of Edmund Rice. In over 25 countries we endeavor to promote global solidarity and offer a transformational education for justice and liberation. EREBB was inaugurated in May 2014 when leaders representing Edmund Rice Education gathered in Nairobi, Kenya to establish an inclusive international network of Edmund Rice educational communities.
