Webinar: “Young People: Essential Partners in the Laudato Si´ Action Platform”

“Young people have a new ecological sensitivity and a generous spirit, and some of them are making admirable efforts to protect the environment” (LS, 209).

This reality will shine brightly at this year’s World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal, where at least 500,000 young people are gathering and giving hope for the future of the church and beyond. Integral ecology was one of the event’s three main themes, not only on an abstract level but through concrete actions. Participants were invited to carefully consider what to pack to minimize their ecological footprint, give attention to using more sustainable materials, and challenge the “throwaway culture” with a culture of life and care for the earth.

How can young people bring leadership in the process of ecological conversion that translates into actions? How can our activities in the upcoming Season of Creation make sure to include young people from the start? Join us on August 17 to hear from World Youth Day participants and other young people involved in impactful projects that put their faith into action through integral ecology.

August 17 at 14:00 Rome. The webinar will be held in English with interpretation available in Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.
