Sr. Lilia Therese Tolentino, SPC, Provincial Assistant for Education, declared the Seven-Point Agenda for Peace Education for all Paulinian schools for the next five years to cap the 20th SPC Educators' Congress and the 5th International SPC Educator's Congress.

The seven-point challenges aim to create a culture of peace in all Paulinian Schools and unify all efforts to form all Paulinians as peacebuilders. It is envisioned that at the end of five years, the Education Ministry will confidently launch the Paulinian Center of Peace.

The agenda, meant to intensify peace-building strategies in the various organizational elements of the Paulinian school system, include deliberate actions of all Paulinian Educators towards the deepening of peace spirituality, integration of peace strategies in the curricula, recognition of peace efforts in the community and mandating a code for relationships based on the social teachings of the Church on justice.

The action-agenda, culled from the inputs of notable guest speakers and from the collated reports of the group sharing of around 450 delegates, was the output of the Committee on the Congress Synthesis headed by Sr. Marie Celine Santos, SPC, President of St. Paul College of Ilocos Sur and co-chaired by Miss Wynna Medina, President of St. Paul University Manila.

The last workshop of this year's Educators' Congress allowed the individual participants to draw up their own five-point personal agenda as Paulinian Educators.

The official declaration of the closing of the Congress was made by Sr. Lilia Therese Tolentino, SPC after the inspiring talk of Onofre Pagsanjan and the feedback of this year's Congress.
