With the impetus of Loyola University Chicago, the curricular integration of the Apostolic Exhortation Querida Amazonía was promoted. To this end, Pope Francis was presented with a proposal to implement interuniversity virtual curricular courses (North–Central–South), at both undergraduate and graduate levels, structured around the Four Dreams of Querida Amazonía (2023–2026). These courses form part of the academic offerings of various universities across the Americas.

Each course lasts one academic term and is taught by professors from different universities, who alternate according to the themes addressed. Students from diverse countries participate in the virtual classrooms.

The courses provide simultaneous interpretation.
