Continued Learning and Action Program (CLAP)
The current virtual learning initiative, “IMCS Continued Learning and Action Program (CLAP)”, has taught us that there is a greater impact in reaching out to student leaders directly and in larger numbers. Secondly, this has also given an opportunity for the student leaders from national movements to learn on issues of social justice, analyze their current context, examine their current approaches to social action, redefine their spirituality of action, and seek clarity for better action through virtual interactions and assistance of experts.
IMCS CLAP is a series of 4 days virtual capacity-building workshops conducted twice a week, focusing on different thematic areas every month. The fourth phase of IMCS CLAP is planned for the period from January 2023 to December 2023 (12 months) covering the IMCS National Movements, Ecumenical Partners, and Solidarity Groups in the Asia Pacific region.

InvestInOurPlanet: April Webinar Series 2023
Climate change affects the social and environmental determinants of health – clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food, and secure shelter. It has an impact also to all communities, as well the Indigenous people, but as we know the Indigenous People have to try to foster and maintain their relationship with the natural world, the connection to the land, and other creatures. In 2023, we celebrated the 75th World Health Day and Earth Day. In alignment with that, at the same time with the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) Twenty-Second Session, IMCS Pax Romana Asia Pacific with the Working Commission would like to organize and present a series of sessions to talk about human health, climate change and the response of Indigenous People.
Theme: “Indigenous Peoples, human health, planetary and territorial health, and climate change: a Rights-based
approach”
Date: 16 & 23 April 2023
Time: 8.00 PM – 9.30 PM Manila/KL/HK Time
Medium: Zoom
