The 'educational village' as a condition for a healthy life: reflections from the Global Educational Pact

The ecclesiastical concern with education has contributed -whether in its teaching institutes or through its documents -to the consolidation of an educational practice that takes human integrality into account. It is noticeable that new cultural, social and anthropological reading keys are offered from the insertion of the great salvific educational pedagogical mission of the Church. It is in the formation of a 'village' in which all areas of knowledge, inside and outside the school space, must aim at human growth to make it an 'image, according to the likeness of God'. In this way, we reflect on the challenges, novelties and perspectives of the 'educational village', especially in the Latin American context, with priority for the Brazilian reality. Only with this idea of a village organized with a view to education, in which everyone, rooted in their realities, are co-responsible for each other, will conditions be offered to integrate with all of nature and with all of society in a relationship of life healthy, thus generating well-being. Our bibliographical research proposes to bring to light one of the proposals of the Global Educational Pact and expand the discourse to our Latin American reality.
