T he theme of CFA’s 18th Catechetical Seminar-Workshop this year will be “Teaching Styles in Catechesis”.  The five-day Congress will be given in two batches: on April 13-18 and May 11-16, 2008. Congress objectives include the identification of major factors that influence learning in catechesis as well as the application of principles of learning styles in the choice of teaching strategies.

Resource persons for the Congress include Sr. Paz Bandalan, FMA, Mr. Albert Saldajeno, Jr. and Fr. Stephen Cuyos, MSC.  The yearly Congress, which has always been a hands-on, dynamic learning process, will again be laden with exercises, tests and experiments, lectures and discussions, individual and group work and role plays.  The overall content is further classified into Brain Power, Learning Strategies in Catechesis and Learning Methodology.
