Social Justice Youth Forum 2009
As a Catholic university we seek to empower our students, staff and the community with a strong sense of social responsibility, concern for the moral and ethical dimensions of life and dignity of all human beings.
The 2009 ACU National Social Justice Youth Forum is an opportunity for us to engage and explore our mission with secondary school students who also share in our commitment to social justice.
The forum provided secondary school students with an opportunity to actively participate in a range of lectures and workshops, conducted by various social justice concern groups and ACU National staff and students. These workshops aim to stimulate awareness within the field of social justice.
