You have access to all the replays here!

Our webinars are aimed at all teachers, but also educators, parents, school administrators, who are involved with children and young people, and who are interested in the Christian dimension of transmission. The Mathurin Cordier-France Network brings together Protestant schools, whether evangelical or not, as well as associations and training institutes which respond in different ways to the mission given by Christ to go and make disciples of all nations, in the teachers.

Due to the health crisis, we had chosen to change the format of our " Mathurin Cordier seminar " annual. In 2021, we had therefore spread our webinars over several dates, in videoconference format, which allowed each participant to attend these meetings from home! And even if we did not benefit from the immense advantages of face-to-face, this loss was largely compensated by the absolutely unique possibilities offered by this new format, such as:

• The considerable decrease in investment in time and money.
• The reduction of the formula by distributing the sessions over one evening and 3 Saturday mornings.
• The organization of work in small groups that may extend beyond these webinars.
• The possibility of following the plenary sessions in replay.

The theme of 2021

« Let's come together and build together ": It is not only a theme, but a vision and injunction from the Lord himself. For these special times that we are going through, facing not only a health crisis, but headwinds where the freedom of education is called into question and where the question of the very existence of our schools is likely to arise, coming together and building together becomes all the more crucial.

Let us remember, in the midst of all of this, that God's promises remain unchanging: promises of growth and multiplication as we persevere in the calling!

As we had underlined during our previous meetings, it is urgent to break down the partitions, the isolation, and promote new synergies between directors, administrators, teachers, educators, parents who are all committed to educating and building according to the model : " It is from him, and thanks to all the links of his assistance, that the whole body, well coordinated and forming a solid assembly, derives its growth » (Eph 4. 16a).

Let’s build together with gold, silver and precious stones on this one solid foundation: Jesus Christ. (1Co 3) Let’s move from a culture of events (annual gatherings) to a culture of networking, where each school and each ministry is involved in this common construction to its extent.

New technological possibilities make it possible to organize and experience these synergies, to discuss and build together, without requiring large resources. Let's take this opportunity

2021 Webinar Schedule

The program of our webinars in 2021 is at the service of this vision of building together. We started with an evening of prayer Friday February 19 during which we brought together to the Lord our praise, our prayers, our subjects of gratitude and intercession. Each school team has its own prayer dynamic, each ministry involved in this field of education too, but this does not replace a national dynamic. This is what we experienced in this first moment, rich in the participation of representatives of several Christian schools in France.

• SESSION 1. Saturday morning 20 February. REPLAY ICI. NWe had the joy of welcoming Anne COFFINIER, Jennifer LEA, Françoise CARON, Brigitte BLAISE, Luc BUSSIERE for various interventions. The afternoon was an opportunity for directors and administrators to meet in Visio conference, to discuss various current topics. A National Education inspector was also present to encourage and advise us. REPLAY AVAILABLE ONLY FOR THOSE WHO WERE REGISTERED

• SESSION 2. Saturday morning March 20, REPLAY ICI. Régine KAKOURIDIS brought relevant and timely biblical meditation: a powerful message of encouragement to all actors in Christian schools. Jean Christophe and Claudia HUET provided a biblical look at distance education, a topical subject, in particular for everything related to teacher training. The participants then divided into one of the 10 thematic workshops offered, an opportunity to meet in smaller groups around a given theme.

• SESSION 3. Saturday May 1st. REPLAY ICI. Tom BLOOMER, former dean of the University of Nations Youth in Mission brought the Bible meditation. Jean Christophe HUET and Luc BUSSIERE both intervened on the theme of the specificity of teaching in the light of revelation. Each participant was then invited to join a participatory workshop, place and means of sharing experiences, practices and resources in a very specific field, educational or administrative, hoping that these participatory workshops take the form of regular "platforms of exchange", or "commissions" intended to meet regularly, outside of national events.
