Modules and speakers
MOOC
Fundamental topics of the final document of the synod.
XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops.
This MOOC is a living part of the path that the Church has been following in a synodal key: a process of listening, discernment, and shared construction. We are now entering a decisive stage, marked by the desire to bring to life the intuitions and calls of the Synod expressed in its Final Document.
Throughout eight thematic modules, the course offers a clear, dynamic, and accessible introduction to the Final Document, exploring its central axes through short videos from international experts. More than a content course, it is a formation and commitment experience: a space where the Word, the memory of the journey, and the voice of the People of God meet in lively dialogue.
The course is 100% free, asynchronous, and open to all. You can follow it at your own pace during the week of October 5 to 12, taking advantage of each resource at the moment that best fits your availability.
Participate in this global journey and join those who believe that a synodal Church is not a distant ideal, but a reality that we are building together, here and now.
In this module, you will have the opportunity to meet the international speakers who accompany us and discover the models of reflection and synodal practice that inspire their contributions. Each voice comes from diverse contexts, enriching the common path with concrete experiences and unique perspectives.
