In response to the need to prepare sisters for the ministry of formation, the International Union of Superiors General (UISG) offers a programme in English for sisters taking up the responsibility of accompanying those in the initial stages of formation to religious life. This programme is offered in the context of the religious congregations of the participants and the needs of the church and the world in the 21st  century.

During the programme, the participants form a learning and supportive community, take on leadership responsibilities and share the uniqueness of their cultures. 
The participants will have on-going mentoring and an 8-Day Directed Retreat in Nemi and the opportunity for Psychological assessment at the Institute of psychology of the Gregorian University.
They will also have an opportunity to visit significant places for prayer and reflection.

The programme will offer various ways to help the participant integrate the content of the programme including personal reflection, group work and interaction, and mentoring.

Each participant assumes the responsibility for her own human and spiritual growth and commits herself to active and engaged participation.

The programme starts on February 1, 2023 and continue through June 28, 2023. It will be held at UISG. It is non-residential. Participants will be asked to attend some preparatory sessions in late January prior to the beginning date.
