This two-part DVD is a fast-paced, compelling documentary featuring leading Jesuit educators. The experiences and insights of St. Ignatius inspired and challenged many in his time to change the way they saw and interacted with the world. Part 1 of this DVD details the life of St. Ignatius, his journey to serve God, his documented spiritual transformation that lives on in the Spiritual Exercises, and the early Jesuits entry into schooling. Part 2 continues with an exploration of Ignatian Pedagogy: A Practical Approach. This pedagogical paradigm inspired by the writings of St. Ignatius was created for use in today's Jesuit schools which have seen a declining number of resident Jesuits and whose lay instructors have been challenged with carrying on this tradition of cura personalis and service to others.
Targeted audience: Faculty and staff at Jesuit and other educational institutions
Recorded over two years beginning 2007 in Paris at a conference on Jesuit pedagogy
