Elements of Peace

In his message for the World Day of Peace 2012 Pope Benedict stresses the importance of ‘Educating Young People in Justice and Peace’, encouraging their zeal for the building of a more just and peaceful society.

This youth work resource from Pax Christi is a collection of mini-workshops, activities and reflections designed to introduce young people to key themes in Christian peacemaking.

These activities are perfect as part of a confirmation programme, RE lesson, parish youth project or group where young people are looking to explore and deepen their faith.
