Presenter:  Janeen Murphy from Caritas Australia

Course Outline:

We live in a world of contrasts and conflicts. We also live in an era of unprecedented compassion. Many people want to do more than just donate money: they wish to be connected with the world and want to be part of the solution. The ‘Be More’ Challenge can provide you with the opportunity to harness this energy to tackle the
structural nature of global poverty and secondly to promote the important role of living a life of faith and doing justice.

Inspired by the words of Archbishop Oscar Romero ‘Aspire not to have more, but to be more’, you will be encouraged to ‘be more’ by making lifestyle changes and taking action for environmental and social justice.
The Caritas Australia ‘Be More’ Challenge invites individuals, groups, schools, parishes and organizations to set themselves five challenges or goals to complete over a calendar year. This workshop will help to unpack the ‘Be More’ campaign and provide participants with skills to be able to organize their own ‘Be More’ weekend with their family, friends or wider community. It will provide participants the opportunity to join thousands of other Australians as they take up the ‘Be More’ Challenge!
