Getting Started

On the journey to 2030

Start here

This page contains many resources that should help get your communities taking action in caring for creation.

We recommend starting with the new ‘Building a Caring Community’ poster activity pack to create a bit of structure.

'Building a Caring Community' poster activity pack

This poster activity pack is specifically designed to be a starting point for a school, parish or community in addressing our ecological and social crises and exploring integral ecology using the Laudato Si’ goals.

Including concern for nature, justice for the poor, commitment to society, and interior peace, in an integrated community response.

Film and reading resources

Explore the Church's teaching on Love of God, neighbour and common home, as a community.

We have compiled resources that can help you come together as a community to learn about important topics. Invite your community to explore these topics with you using the resources on the film screening and reading group pages.

Raising awareness of topics with food and discussion is a great way of getting people interested in important topics. See our recommended films.

Reading of Catholic social teaching such as Laudato Si’ is an excellent way to look in depth into Church teaching on care of creation. See our collection of reading guides and resources.
