Who we are

Despite economic growth and technological progress, our world is in crisis: climate change is compromising the planet’s sustainability, rising inequalities are preventing the greater part of humanity from having access to basic human rights. Conflicts, poverty and climate change are triggering refugee movements. Political extremism is challenging democracy and international collaboration.

These contemporary issues are complex, often interconnected and of such magnitude that it is easy to feel at a loss to engage with them in meaningful ways in the context of daily life. No one can tackle these issues alone, but we sometimes lack the appropriate social settings that would allow us to talk to others and find ways to contribute to change.

OUR MISSION AND VISION

Small group dialogue as a tool for change!

The name “Forum” was chosen to reflect the emphasis on people and the belief that small group dialogue facilitates change.

The Jesuit Forum was established in 2007 as the social and ecological justice centre of the Jesuits in English Canada in order to offer:

Ways for people to reconnect with the energy of their deep hopes for a reconciled and thriving world
Paths towards greater freedom and authenticity through the sharing of personal experiences
A friendly space where people can feel heard, affirmed and empowered to think and act differently
