Across Africa, Catholic sisters are gathering for something more than a workshop. Through ASEC’s HESA Reflective Learning Workshops, participants are reflecting on their journeys, reconnecting with peers, and renewing their sense of purpose within their studies and ministries. Held throughout the year across partner countries, these workshops create space for sisters to celebrate progress, strengthen support networks, and respond to real challenges identified by participants themselves. Workshops have already taken place in Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, Cameroon, and Kenya, with more scheduled this May in South Sudan, Malawi, Lesotho, Zambia, Ghana, and Kenya. Together, these gatherings continue building connection, learning, and shared purpose across countries. Read more at the link below!
