Laudato Si' Green Festival
In 2023, the Laudato Youth Initiative pioneered the Laudato Si Green Festival as one of its programs conducted from regional to national levels. The aim was to bring together stakeholders, communities, and institutions through its Laudato Si Clubs to increase tree planting initiatives and promote deeper integration of environmental education into Uganda’s national curriculum. This began with engaging schools to establish local initiatives, ranging from students raising awareness through Green Walks, radio sentisation programs, short educational videos etc to showcasing environmental projects through eco-exhibitions on recycling, organic farming, solar energy, and plastic waste management—demonstrating innovation and a growing commitment to sustainability.
The program invites schools, churches, communities, and government bodies to enhance the preservation of biodiversity, promote green practices, and build a national culture of conservation.
