​

  1. the sharing of the diverse experiences of Augustinian youth throughout the world

  3. Justice and Peace education and spiritual formation

  4. promotion of regional youth gatherings

 

b) Ongoing dialogue with and formation of Youth Animators in Augustinian apostolates (e.g., sharing of ideas and resources through the internet and other means of modern technology)
