Valerio Ciriello SJ highlights the importance of involving young people in efforts geared toward ecological transition, and stresses that they can influence a better way of development and lifestyle for future generations.
In light of increasing calls for communal efforts to be directed toward the protection of our common home amid widening ecological degradation, hurricanes, flooding and other natural disasters, the “Eco Summer Camp for Young Adults” is doing something to urge young people to take a stand for themselves and for generations to come.
Organized by the Lassalle-Institut in collaboration with Swiss Catholic Lenten Fund, Fastenopfer and the Center for Development and Environment (CDE), the initiative brought together over 40 young adults between the ages of 18 – 35 for the program which was held from 22 to 28 August at the Lassalle-Haus in Switzerland.
Experts and scholars animated sessions aimed at broadening the horizons of the participants and strengthening an international network of young people who contribute to a true change in environmental issues. This is done through a holistic approach that fosters interpersonal growth through a mindful approach, as well as through practical contributions.
In an interview with Vatican News, Jesuit Valerio Ciriello reflected on this first edition of the summer program and the importance of involving young people in ecological efforts. Ciriello is the chaplain at the University of Lucerne, Switzerland, and works for an ecological transition for future generations. The Eco Summer Camp for Young Adults is one of the fruits of his work.
