Audacity 2009/10 Hits the Streets

Good Shepherd Youth Magazine Calls for Action

The third annual edition of Audacity, Good Shepherd’s youth magazine, is now available. The 2009/10 edition was produced by Good Shepherd staff (incollaboration with other justice and youth organisations) for schools, community groups, parishes and individuals to use.

Audacity was first published in 2007 to give young people information and to suggest action on justice issues. The full-colour, 24 page booklet challenges readers to be audacious, bold and courageous in making the world a better place. It has inspired young people to have a go on an issue and to help bring about change.

The 2009/10 edition of Audacity features stories and actions on chocolate and child labour, trafficking of humans, Fair Trade products, reconciliation, a justice nametag project in the Philippines and saving water. As well, Audacity highlights the amazing justice work being done by some young people, including those involved in the Oaktree Foundation, a youth-run international aid and development organisation and a Fair Trade advocate who is studying Year 12 at Marian College in Ararat.

Audacity also promotes The Trading Circle; a Fair Trade initiative helping empower women to earn the money they need to survive and live with dignity. 

Many secondary schools are now ordering Audacity to be used as a resource in social justice actions. The booklet is available from the Good Shepherd Youth Development office in Abbotsford.

Audacity is free. However, for orders of 20 or more, the cost is $1 per copy plus postage and handling. This price is negotiable.
