The mode of operation of the Laudato Youth Initiative (LYI) is anchored in the establishment of Laudato Si’ Clubs (LSiC) within schools, parishes, universities, dioceses, and community settings. This operational model embodies the African Contextual Framework and Interpretation of Laudato Si’ by fostering collaboration between young people and mentors in promoting climate action rooted in Christian ethics and African cultural values. Drawing inspiration from Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’, the Catholic Social Teachings, and the Sustainable Development Goals (specifically SDGs 2 and 13), as well as from the witness of the Uganda Martyrs, the initiative positions its clubs as seeds of hope for advancing integral ecology within both ecclesial and societal structures.
