- How does it work?
1. Organize a Circle
Get together with other people, select the topic you are interested in training on, and choose a name for your circle (group).
We recommend that each group 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. He is the “animator” of the circle, and also acts as a bridge between the fellow and the other members.
He calls 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. After that, we will write to everyone to give them access to the course and put them in contact with the Fellow.
3. Training meetings or “Newmanian circles”
These meetings (three for each topic) can be held as frequently as you decide – weekly, biweekly, monthly. During these meetings, you can contact the Fellow to ask questions, connect, and more.
4. Course closure
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.

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.
