How does it work?
1. Organize a Circle
Choose the topic you would like to train on and whether you are going to do it individually or in a group.
If you are part of a group, you need to have a circle facilitator. This is a member of the circle, interested not only in growing himself, but in leading others to grow in faith.
The facilitator’s role is to act as a bridge between Newman Academy and the other members, to call the people who are going to be part of the circle, helps them register on the virtual platform, contacts whoever manages access to the materials, assists the group with the agenda and meeting reminders.
2. Enroll in the course
The next step is to fill out the form with the information of everyone who will participate.
It is important that you complete the corresponding form according to the modality you choose to take the course.
Once you have completed the form, you will receive the necessary instructions to access the course material.
3. Training meetings or “Newmanian circles”
These meetings (three or four for each topic) can be held as frequently as you decide – weekly, bi-weekly, monthly. During these meetings, you can contact the Fellow to ask questions, connect, and more.
4. Course closure
For those who have taken a circle (or group) course, we propose a fourth closing face-to-face meeting with the Fellow, when possible, to clarify questions, deepen the topics, and generate a personal bond with the rest of those who participate in the Newman Academy.
This meeting can be face-to-face or virtual, depending on the case.

5. How long does each course last?
All courses consist of 3 training meetings or “circles”, and a closing meeting. The total duration of the course will depend on the frequency with which your group meets to hold these meetings.
6. Can I do it alone, without a group?
Having a group of friends is not mandatory, but it is much more enriching. We advise you to find two or three friends who will accompany you on this adventure, and who can grow together in their faith and at the same time intellectually.
