Supporting your work with young peopleBosco Volunteer Action, as part of the Salesian Youth Ministry team in the UK, aims to encourage and support development education (justice and peace, with a particular focus on developing countries) in youth work. In order to do this, a free email newsletter is sent to interested parties 6 times a year. This brings together information, links and resources relevant to justice and peace issues from a large number of charities and campaign groups.
It is hoped that such a resource encourages and supports individuals working with young people to introduce a social justice element – perhaps through a 'justice and peace’ group, a display, assemblies, sermons or themed sessions.
