Hope Education

Jeanne-Marie Rugira

To work with Professor Jacques Daignault is to gently enter into the world of education as a Work of Life; a Work of Hope. Meeting this reader and philosophical follower of Simone Weil is to discover his educational project and to be initiated to the terrifying weight of human incarnation when face to face with grace.

During my research training with Professor Daignault I understood what Jean-Yves Le Loup (1998) meant when he said that man is not a being, but a “may-be-being.” It is this able-ing (ce peut) and this tinyness (ce peu) that constitutes both hope and freedom. This ce peut and ce peu incite us to create passage ways to build communities that are more lively and loving.
