Are you ready to become a climate justice hero?

The LWF "Journey to Climate Justice" is open again for your registration.

On 25 October, a group of more than 200 young people from all around the world played an exciting online game together in order to learn and act for climate justice. The response was so positive that we decided to open the social online learning game again - at the same time, the United Nations meet for their climate change summit (COP19) in Warsaw, Poland. Seven Young LWF delegates will be at this UN conference and also meet you online.

You can travel the world virtually, learn about climate justice through video presentations and earn points by responding to quizzes and to discuss with others.

You will climb the ladder of knowledge, collaboration and ideas to become a climate hero.

Starting and ending times are GTM+1.

This workshop brings together twenty-five young African Lutheran theologians on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the first All-Africa Lutheran Conference held in 1955.

Participants are looking to identify ways to:

• increase the quality and contribution of the theological work of African Lutheran theologians
• stimulate thinking in creative ways of contributing to the global identity of the Lutheran communion from the African context
• contribute to the global Lutheran and Christian hermeneutics

This workshop is part of an on-going engagement with identified pilot churches in the area of religion and development.

The churches aim to:

• increase their self-understanding and relevance in their rapidly changing contexts

The LWF envisions gender justice as a path where women and men need to journey together. Each one of us - as a Christian, as a member of a congregation, as lay or ordained, as a church leader or young theologian - is called to affirm justice as a matter of faith.

Join us as we unpack the principles and methodology of the new LWF Gender Justice Policy. Learn about the concrete steps the LWF is taking to enable the full participation of women and men in the life of the church and the society.
