Breaking bread at LiveIt! [CAFOD]

Challenge the young people you work with to be radical, to stand out from the crowd and to make a difference to the world by committing to livesimply

Inspired by the justice-based Papal encyclical Populorum Progressio (‘On the Development of Peoples’ for those of you too young to have learnt Latin) written by Pope Paul VI in 1967, the livesimply challenge calls us to live simply, sustainably and in solidarity with people who are poor.

Here you will find resources which you can use in an informal setting with young people, although many of our other materials can also be used under the banner of livesimply, so take a look around and you’re sure to find something that suits your needs.
