PILGRIM in Dialogue with Sustainability and Spirituality

38 39 PILGRIM Mit-Welt Expert – lower level In the common German parlance, the term "Umwelt" (environment) has become synonymous with the problem of climate change and has been in use for more than 50 years. When it comes to the environment, the German word “Umwelt” (loosely: the world around us) means that it is about something other than ourselves. That's why we use the diction “Mit-Welt” ("with the world"). And actually, the word "with" should no longer be in there either: because it is about the world as a whole. The realisation that "we are all connected" cannot leave anyone cold and includes everyone. PILGRIM Mit-Welt Expert Passport In order to give children the opportunity to deal with the 14 topics of the book, in accordance with Laudato Si' and the SDGs, a team from the PMS in Zwettl, supported by the PILGRIM team at the Centre >Education for Sustainable Development & Spirituality< at the KPH Vienna/Krems, has restructured this book so it can be used in the process of becoming a PILGRIM Mit-Welt expert. A reference to the 17 SDGs is included for each topic. The 14 topics correspond to the book chapters and invite young people and/or adults to read the chapters and implement in the themes into their own lives. This can become quite tricky ... > https://pilgrim.at/news/209.html Task Pupils select five topics and five subsequent suggestions and enter them into their MitWelt Expert Passport. The total of 25 individual tasks give them the feeling that they have done something for creation. This feeling of satisfaction can be transferred to other topics and leads to new ways of thinking and acting. The community of the class, school and family plays a major role here. Meaning: every action has two sides – on the one hand to save the world – on the other hand to serve creation ... Children, this planet is in your hands The book "Children, this planet is in your hands" is a textbook for children, written by Fr Juan Goicochea, a Comboni missionary from Peru. It quite effectively links topics such as peace, the world, and justice to the Bible and life itself. It was translated from Spanish into German by a team from the Zwettl Private Middle School and is suitable for children aged 9 - 14, but also for older pupils and adults. It can be used in the subjects of biology, geography, history and political education, social learning, religion and ethics.
