PRATYEK and Edmund Rice International are this year collaborating on an excellent programme of engagement for young people and the climate question. Each young people from across the network and beyond are invited to be month to be a part of SUSTAINABLE FRIDAYS- (was before, Saturdays!) a platform where they aim to gather young voices from different countries to create awareness and discuss concerns on environmental problems.
Themes such as: Child Participation in Climate Action and Environmental Governance have already been explored. Ann was delighted to facilitate the second session this year on Environmental Governance; in an interactive session with many young people we looked at how the increasingly urgent nature of the climate crisis is demanding ever-more global cooperation through international environmental laws and treaties and how we go about managing the protection of our precious planet and its resources. If you are interested in this topic, you can find many resources on a Padlet created for this event: https://padlet.com/annnicholsero/9adphur9309lf3dw
We look forward to sharing the forthcoming discussions with our young people.

O God, we thank you for the life of Edmund Rice.
He opened his heart to Christ present in those oppressed by poverty and injustice.
May we follow his example of faith and generosity.
Grant us the courage and compassion of Edmund as we seek to live lives of love and service.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
