Project 3763 : Monasteries of West Africa

Session from 19 January to 2 February 2026, at the men’s and women’s monasteries in Dzogbégan (Togo)

Every two years, the major French-speaking monastic superiors of West Africa organise a session for Formators.

The theme of the next session will be: ‘Communication in the school of St. Benedict in Africa.’

Twenty formators will participate, from 19 monasteries in six countries: Burkina Faso, Benin, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Togo, and Guinea Conakry. Four speakers will talk on: ‘Modern communication tools’, ‘Non-violent communication’, ‘How values were communicated in our African traditions’, ‘Facilitating dialogue with the Rule of St. Benedict’.

Financial assistance would be needed to cover travel and accommodation costs.

Financial assistance: €2,000.
