We warmly welcome you to Keimyung University’s campus in Daegu, Korea between July 19 and July 22, 2010 for the 2010 ACUCA Student Camp. The theme for this year’s camp is The Earth: Our Choices, Our Actions and Our Impact. The key objectives of this camp are:
· to enhance the understanding of core Christian beliefs in the context of environmental issues
· to raise awareness of critical, Asia-specific environmental issues among young Christian leaders,
· to help young Christian leaders take the initiative in protecting and preserving God's creation
The camp will include a number of presentations and discussions, which will highlight the problems and investigate possible solutions to the environmental problems facing our region. Presentations will be an opportunity for each national team to discover how their Christian faith relates to environmental issues in their particular county. Presentations will be centered on three main topics:
1. Christian belief and its role in God’s creation
2. Critical environmental issues in your region/country
3. Christian initiatives for sustainable development
During the camp, students will have an opportunity to participate in a number of discussions and activities related to the main theme. It is our wish to show that Christian Faith and practical action on preserving our environment are not mutually exclusive. Discussions will be focused on the following topics:
- Understanding our role in God’s creation
What is God’s will for his earth and what is our role in preserving and sustaining it? What are the details of our mission and what does it mean to our belief?
- Awareness of Environmental issues in Asia
What are the critical and important issues in your region/country? What are the problems resulting from climate change, exploitation of natural resources and unfettered development in Asia? What are the potential outcomes of the lack of awareness of environmental issues?
- Active Christian Stewardship
How can we connect our Christian belief to the environmental issues at hand? What can we do on a day to day basis to practice our stewardship over God's creation?
