On the occasion of the Brussels-Taizé 2017 meeting, the Justice and Peace Commission is offering young people from several European countries an event on the social and environmental issues of mineral extraction in Peru.
During the 2017 Palm Sunday weekend, a major regional Taizé meeting will be held in Brussels. Young people aged 16 to 35 from Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Luxembourg are invited to participate in different thematic workshops. Among these, on April 8, Justice and Peace will host a meeting on the consequences of the exploitation of natural resources on populations and the environment through the case of Peru.
We will lead together a citizen reflection on North-South relations as well as our role to play as European citizens and consumers. We will analyze our power of action on international issues, notably through the example of the consumption of GSM and smartphones.
