Abstract

The new era we are witnessing requires an educational change and with it: new paradigms. The call made by Pope Francis to carry out a Global Educational Pact can be a guide to interpret the Venezuelan educational reality. Taking our educational system as a scenario and, following the Pope's proposal, this work suggests the opening of meeting spaces in which all creeds, life options and ways of organizing society, institutions, organizations,
States and tendencies of our country can fit. A joint effort of this type also requires a way of life based on Fraternity as a principle and cultural category that expresses the structural reality of the human being. A new anthropology, a ne w humanism of solidarity, an attitude of openness and service towards others as a pillar of the culture of the meeting, aimed especially at those most in need to reach out to them, is the expected result.
