About
Discover yourself as you discover your role as a Catholic leader in the world community.
More than ever, ours is a global community. Your future and the social, intellectual and spiritual challenges you will face in the years ahead are shared by other young leaders throughout the world.
Global Issues Seminar is your special opportunity to meet with 39 of your peers from Catholic high schools throughout the U.S. and beyond to discuss issues of importance to your generation – especially prospects for Christian-Muslim dialogue and the challenges of living in a post 9-11 world.
Global Issues Seminar
July 25 – August 1, 2010
Be one of 40 rising high school seniors engaged in a stimulating one-week exploration of the future challenges facing young Catholic leaders.
Through a series of lectures by distinguished faculty, group discussions and collaborative projects, this seminar identifies contemporary challenges to the establishment of justice and a sustainable peace in a world being transformed by the processes of “globalization”. We do so, students and faculty working together, by viewing a host of issues—including terrorism, governmental corruption and structural violence, systematic violations of human rights, religious and ethnic conflict, environmental degradation and resource wars, and nuclear arms proliferation—through the lens of Catholic social teaching. We ask, further, how the principles of social justice must be developed and adapted to address these new challenges.
Global Issues Seminar also provides a complete Notre Dame experience. Students stay in campus residence halls and have access to virtually all of the academic, recreational, and spiritual resources available to undergraduate students. If you are accepted into this special program, all expenses—including transportation to and from Notre Dame—will be paid by the University. One college credit will be offered to all participants upon completion of the program.
