"You are loved for who you are, not for what you do." The CAMINO 2026 is the In-Service Program for formators held on June 18–19, 2026, at Lantaka Campus. The two-day program focused on reflection, dialogue, and collaboration. The gathering aimed to deepen understanding of the Ignatian tradition of forming men and women of God and for-and-with others. It also launched the three-year Ignatian Formation Roadmap to enhance holistic development among the university community. Participants discussed the challenges facing today’s youth and emphasized the need for empathy, authenticity, and discernment in their roles as formators. They reflected on their own journeys and recognized that formation is a mission rooted in love and relationship, not just a series of programs. The program encouraged creative and compassionate responses to the complexities of young people's lives, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and trust in God's presence. No student should have to walk the Camino alone. No one in AdZU will walk the Camino alone. Ateneo de Zamboanga University- Formation Offices
