Booking now - Live it! Sixth Form conference
Sixth form students from Catholic schools and colleges around the UK are invited to live it! - a one-day conference on 14 March 2008. Taking place in Manchester, the day is aimed at young people with a commitment to social justice, and offers a unique opportunity for students to engage in a lively way with environment and solidarity issues in the light of the Gospel and Catholic Social Teaching.
Fr Chris Gorton will speak about livesimply
in the context of Catholic Social Teaching and film footage will
be shown of how young people have put livesimply into practice
during the last year.
Students will hear from an expert on climate change how this
global threat affects the people of developing countries most
severely - and how by living sustainably we can all help make
a difference.
Two Guyanan students will share how our promises to live in solidarity
can transform situations in a developing country.
As well as receiving high quality input, students will have the
opportunity to take part in an exciting carousel of activities,
at their own pace - experiential learning at its most engaging!
..
They will also be given the chance to pose questions to a panel
of experts and, if they bring school video cameras with them,
to interview and make their own films of some of the speakers.
A professional photograph exhibition will be on display throughout
the day, on the theme of climate change and environmental sustainability.
The day will also include a specially commissioned play, performed
by students.
