Back10 Years of Laudato Si’: from Hope to Action
To celebrate, Garratt Publishing will be hosting a series of Ecology Webinars.
The first webinar, Generation Laudato Si’, will focus on how young people within the Church have been ‘doing Laudato Si’’ for 10 years and what their plans and dreams are for the future.
GENERATION LAUDATO SI’
WEBINAR
Wednesday 2 April 2025
Generation Laudato Si‘ is written entirely by youth (aged 17 to 35) from 20 countries. It comprises the thoughts, wisdom, dreams and aspirations of a generation that want to change how we run the economy, foster community, lead and govern, facilitate education, use and apply technology, and live among the rest of creation.
The Generation Laudato Si’ Webinar will work in a Q&A style where the contributors to this book will unpack the work that they have done and how they have been inspired by Catholic Social Teaching.
The focus of discussion will be on how educators, parish communities and groups, Catholic organisations, and all those who care for our common home can use the examples, case studies, and wisdom from these young people to inspire and engage others to live by Pope Francis’s seminal teachings.
Guest speakers will be Alice Carwardine and Jemima Walsh – contributors to Generation Laudato Si’: Catholic Youth on Living out an Ecological Spirituality..
We look forward to you joining us.
