You are cordially invited to attend the SMA Summer School.
The SMA Summer School provides high-quality, evidence-based knowledge and insight on matters of social and environmental justice within a faith context, with a view to supporting those committed to advocating for more just and sustainable policies in Ireland. Since 1984, the Society of African Missions (SMA) has hosted an annual Summer School. Originally established for SMA Fathers on holiday from mission, since then the Summer School has been opened to the wider public.
The focus for 2022 will be on the current ecocidal and socially destructive system of unconstrained growth, profit and consumption. We ask is there another way for us to live together on this planet, and to use its resources more justly, wisely and sustainably? The Summer School will take place on Saturday 18th and the morning of Sunday 19th of June 2022 via Zoom. We invite you to join us, and would be grateful if you would also pass this information on to others you think would be interested.
This year’s theme is:
Sufficiency, Not Growth: Towards a Safe and Sustainable Future
Speakers: Prof John Barry (QUB), Dr Seán Healy SMA (Social Justice Ireland), Dr Anne Ryan (MU), Prof Sadhbh O’Neill (DCU), Dr Tom McDonnell (NERI), Sr Colette Kane OP (An Tairseach – Organic Farm and Ecology Centre) and Rachel Power (The Climate Reality Project). Chaired by Colette Bennett (Social Justice Ireland).
