We at Misereor feel called upon to make Laudato si' strong because many of our partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America describe precisely the hardships, impasses and hopes that Pope Francis talks about in Laudato si'. These building blocks are intended to help make the encyclical accessible in educational work with young people and adults, in schools and groups. They also contain a suggestion for celebrating creation, the common home of all, in church services. And they present international messages from churches and religions on climate change.
