Relearning to Discern and Know
By learning to discern and know, we can make an accurate reading of situations and conditions. Thus we approach the correct understanding that allows for more adequate responses through an efficient management of information. The capacity to collaborate actively with the dynamic and sustained development of the integral human development processes (human, social, environmental, economic, political and spiritual) is also strengthened.
