Goals
The purpose of the African Sisters Education Collaborative is to create a partnership that will result in making higher education available to women religious in Africa using both local and distance learning. In September, 2004, sister-leaders from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda were invited to attend a conference at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia and Marywood University in Scranton, PA.
The goals of this conference included:
Introduce the African sisters to instructional technologies and demonstrate the potential of technology as a tool in the learning environment.
Refine data pointing to the needs of the African sisters and opportunities for education and to identify priorities.
Prepare an action plan for implementing the project.
Be a Ray of Hope
