Ecumenical International Youth Day 2022 Event Toolkit

Ecumenical International Youth Day Toolkit: Indigenous Youth and Land Rights Activism

The World Council of Churches (WCC) newly published book, Ecumenical International Youth Day Toolkit: Indigenous Youth and Land Rights Activism.  

The toolkit prepared churches all over the world to participate in a prayer, “Reconnecting with Mother Nature and the planet,” on 12 August 2022, as well as a hybrid-style Ecumenical Youth Gathering in Karlsruhe, Germany on 30 August, just before the WCC 11th Assembly. 

The book is designed to help people reflect, advocate, and pray about the challenges and learn more about the wisdom of Indigenous Peoples.

From suggestions for activities and advocacy, to information about land rights, the toolkit provides resources for ongoing events that can be adapted to local contexts as well.

“Land is the foundation of Indigenous People’s existence,” notes the introduction. “Land is the unifying element that binds Indigenous Peoples all over the world.”
