Highlighting how current changemakers creatively and effectively address: Eliminating extreme poverty and social exclusion; Building a more just and people-oriented economic system; Ensuring environmentally sustainable ways of living and caring for the earth; Promoting non-violent alternatives to conflict and war; Promoting democratic values so that people can participate more fully in the decisions that affect them; as well as other important issues that changemakers address in their own backyards.
2. Drawing connections between local issues and strategies and broader movements that help us “connect the dots” and discover new opportunities for addressing the systemic issues that
confront humankind.
3. Discerning intentional action strategies by which Marianist Family members, friends and other “seekers of justice” might more effectively and collaboratively engage in social transformation efforts.
4. Identifying specific ways that individuals and communities could participate in these efforts.
