When Education Means Transformation: Experience of the Santa Bernardita Center

W eventWednesday, 21 May 2025

At the Santa Bernardita Center in Kissidougou (West Africa), the education of girls and women has taken a significant step toward true transformation. This testimony, shared by Sister Eugénie, recounts the discernment process experienced by the educational community as they adopted a more holistic approach—one that values the person as a whole, not just their technical performance.

"We want an education that transforms our students as a whole," affirm those at the center. Guided by this conviction, they implemented a new evaluation method that is personalized, respectful, and participatory. The result has been a more engaged community, families who are actively involved, and a fuller living of the charism among those who need it most.

You can read the full testimony here and let yourself be inspired by this concrete example of educational renewal, rooted in the heart of the charism.
