Welcome, participants of the PRINCIPLE + FOUNDATION OF JESUIT EDUCATION WORKSHOP!

The workshop will be held from September 15 (Sunday) to 21 (Saturday) at the Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu with the following address:
H. Abellana Street
Brgy. Canduman
Mandaue City, 6014

Please arrive BEFORE DINNER on the 15th. You may leave anytime on Saturday.
If you are planning to spend a few days before or after the workshop and require accommodation, you must make your own arrangement by emailing Ms. Jen Ramirez (jrramirez@ateneo.edu ).
ARRIVAL + REGISTRATION FEES
You may fly either direct to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport or via a connecting flight from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila.
Upon arrival at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, look for the IGNITE sign with YOUR NAME on it. There is a welcoming party that will bring you to your accommodations. Please make sure you email us your flight details!
If for some reason, you cannot find the welcoming party (for example, if you are arriving during off hours), you are requested to take a metered taxi. They are parked right outside the airport’s arrival area. You will be asked for the address of the hotel you are billeted in. Please keep the piece of paper they will hand to you. This contains the information of the driver and the taxi that brings you.
Here is the address of your hotel accommodations:
Citi Park Hotel
F. Cabahug St.
Mabolo, Cebu City
Click HERE for the hotel’s website.
It takes approximately 25 minutes from the airport to the hotel. Cost of taxi to the hotel ranges from Php 200-300 (USD 4.00-6.00).
Check into your room at the front desk. Do not pay the hotel directly as the cost of accommodations is included in the Registration Fee. Just tell the front desk you are there for the IGNITE workshop.
If you are staying for more than six nights, there will be an additional charge of USD 25 / extra night, per participant (still on twin-sharing accommodations) or USD 40 / extra night, if you are staying in a single room. Again, please pay this amount to the workshop organizers together with your workshop fee of USD 400
The Philippines uses Type A Power Plug and Socket with a standard voltage of 220V. Please bring the appropriate adapter to avoid inconvenience in charging your gadgets.
First aid and emergency kit with medicines for common ailments (cough, headache, etc) are provided in the venue . Please remember to pack your personal medications.
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
The workshop aims to provide an overview of the history and tradition of Jesuit education and invites Ignatian educators to appreciate their personal vocation in the context of the Jesuit mission of education, as well as to reflect on the Jesuit vision for the educational apostolate—particularly, the so-called Characteristics of Jesuit Education, as well as its goals as captured by the 4 Cs (Conscience, Competence, Compassion, and Commitment).
