The School of Intersectional Ecotheology and Ecojustice Witness (SIEEW) is looking for passionate individuals between the ages of 18 and 35, eager to learn about addressing the urgent environmental challenges of our time. Do you, as a youth of today, believe in the power of intersectionality and the need for social and environmental justice? If so, SIEEW is the perfect place for you!
Organised by the Council for World Mission, SIEEW is a transformative and action-oriented programme that aims to create safe and inclusive spaces for deep learning, inquiry, and discussions on the intersectional issues related to environmental justice and theology. SIEEW gives our students the opportunities to build a community of eco-justice witnesses and become advocates for the earth and its inhabitants.
