  • Two Works, One Spirit
    Social Justice and Ecology Secretariat of the Society of Jesus ENG February 2018 ...to exchange social justice and ecology news, stimulate contacts, share spirituality and promote networking... Narrative Two works, one spirit Moritz Kuhlmann SJ (GER) "Try to engage our students in a social project!" says Father Axel Bödefeld SJ, the headmaster of Loyola gymnasium. He has this wish for the students of Loyola gymnasium, which is considered the best school in Kosovo. Ignatian pedagogy however aims at more than best results in comparative tests. He wants the elite students to receive an education for their hearts as well. Saide gets 15 Cents for a kilogram of scrap metal. The old woman dropped her wheelbarrow on the side of the street. In a dirty puddle, she was washing her face. She introduced me to her neighborhood, to every house and family. I find myself in the Roma quarter 'Tranzit', next to the highway. Here I want to take the Loyola students. Loyola High School and Tranzit are two extreme worlds. On one hand the sharp looking EU- colored uniforms, worn by Albanians of good families, on the other hand ratty street clothes with muddy boots, worn by Roma children of poor houses. Albanians claim that Roma during the Kosovo war in 1999 were fighting alongside the Serbs against Albanians. In order to escape the hatred, many deny their identity as Roma and call themselves Ashkali. Will it be possible to build a bridge between the two worlds? Loyola can bring education, uplift, recognition to Tranzit. But Tranzit can help Loyola and its students too, with a more responsible and reconciled life, with a deep formation of personality.
