One of the characteristic features of the charisma of the Society of Jesus is the intellectual apostolate. Jesuit pedagogy is characterized by specific features based on previous pedagogical approaches (medieval universities, studia humanitatis), but also in a broader philosophical and theological context. The key starting point of the Ignatian and Jesuit pedagogy are the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola. The education stemming from this background does not represent a value in itself, but rather a very effective instrument that helps to shape an integral personality, strengthens social ties and interpersonal relationships and leads to selfless service. The result of such education is not only the mere well roundedness, but above all the ability to take on commitment and move out of one’s comfort zone towards public service.
