Wholemakers Facilitators Training
Wednesdays - April 3 through May 1, 2024 at 10am PT | 12pm CT | 1pm ET
Over the course of five weeks, we will walk through a selection of five sessions from each of the three parts of the Wholemakers curriculum. You will have the opportunity to engage in discussions, pose questions, and strategize on how best to integrate this curriculum in your community.
🌿About the curriculum :
Wholemakers is a multi-session Catholic curriculum designed for youth and young adults to explore and deepen their understanding of care for creation. The entirety of the Wholemakers curriculum uniquely moves participants through a holistic process of faith-filled personal and societal transformation. Rooted in the Gospels and Laudato Si’, current science, realities of those on the margins, and participants’ own lived experiences, this program invites young adults into prayerful examination of how our lives are connected to the climate crisis and into discernment of what our faith calls us to do about it, offering the tools to take substantive action to work towards a better world together.
In this workshop, you will experience a selection of five sessions from the curriculum and learn how to implement it in your community. Sign up below to register for the online workshop.
🎓 Who is it for?
