Start the Year Strong: Forming Your Plan for 2026

Laudato Si' Action Platform

19/02/2026 Remote

Many are asking the same question: What will 2026 require of us and how can we prepare for it well?

We invite you to join us for Start the Year Strong: Forming Your Plan for 2026, a two-part gathering on Thursday, February 19 that connects what ecological trends are emerging now, and how your planning choices can actively shape the year ahead.

Part 1: Forecasts for 2026 with the Laudato Si’ Action Platform

This opening webinar will help you:

Re-ground your work in the spiritual and educational foundations of Laudato Si’
Share key insights from 2025 and offer a forward-looking view of priorities and challenges shaping 2026
Highlight how education, discernment, and ethical reflection help communities respond wisely to a changing context

Join the 2026 Planning

We will be joined by Ivan Efraim A. Gozum, a theologian and educator at the Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas (Manila).

Efraim’s work brings together theological formation, ethics, and emerging realities in education, including the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. His reflection will help situate our 2026 outlook within a broader horizon.

Part 2: Interactive Workshop to Draft your Plan

Following the webinar, you’re invited to an interactive community meeting focused on doing the work together.

Join the Interactive Workshop

In this hands-on session, you will:

Begin drafting or revising your 2026 Laudato Si’ Plan
Identify at least three concrete actions to launch the year
Learn alongside others as you organize your community’s next steps

You are welcome to attend one part or both. Together, these sessions are designed to help you enter 2026 with foresight, clarity, and the confidence that your actions matter.
