"AMASC Youth Bulletin"
English Français

July 2003
We have the pleasure to announce the launching of the AMASC World
Youth Bulletin in July 2003. This is the result of a long series
of discussions between international networks of alumnae of the
Sacred Heart. We felt that such a bulletin is necessary to facilitate
the flow of information and news, and to foster collaboration
between the young alumnae/i throughout the world. The World Youth
Bulletin will work to complement the already existent web structure
that has been available to all with Internet access for the past
few years.
The AMASC World Youth Bulletin aims to bring world news to all
past students of the Sacred Heart all over the world. The particular
aim is to reach out to the young past pupils worldwide. This will
also be a place to discuss the following themes: collaboration,
woman´s issues, communication, social justice, human rights,
humanitarian projects, and enviromental issues in the world of
today. We would like to take this opportunity to invite all those
who are interested to participate and contribute to the dissemination
of news, information, updates and anything they may feel is of
use and interest to others in this world-wide community.
To facilitate communication and to increase the usefulness of
this bulletin, we will publish it in a number of languages, namely:
English, Italian, Spanish and French. The bulletin will be published
electronically and can be accessed through a link on the main
AMASC web page. Regular updates will be posted every three months
encouraging the dissemination of all kinds of information, thereby
facilitating communication and collaboration. Local associations
are free to print the bulletin and publish it in their newsletters
or journals to further increase the dissemination of information.
The principal idea behind this bulletin is similar to that for
a newsletter. Indeed it will be a way for us to have our own medium
in which we can share ideas, values, opinions, collaborate on
projects, publish mailshots, and the latest news updates and appeals.
This is going to be a dynamic place for you to express whatever
you want and also to maintain contact with AMASC.
Following recent events and interesting inter regional meetings
we would like to inaugurate the first issue with a special collection
of papers and reports. So we would like to take this opportunity
to invite the following persons to submit a piece in the forthcoming
issue. These include:
• Olga Rome (USA) - World President of AMASC is cordially
invited to submit a few words of inspiration in her capacity as
current World President on the launching of this Bulletin for
the Young in the World;
• Sr. Clare Pratt RSCJ is cordially invited to submit a
few words in her capacity as Mother Superior of the Religious
Community of the Sacred Heart on the values we have inherited
from Saint Madeleine Sophie, which we may wish to reflect in our
work on, and through, this bulletin.
Further to these founding articles we will present an inaugural
paper by Ana Drisaldi (Argentina) who is the current world representative
on the AMASC board for the young alumnae/i world-wide, and a piece
by Alessia Clemente (Italy) on communication channels for the
world wide community of children of the Sacred Heart.
While we can argue that this AMASC World Youth Bulletin will facilitate
communication and collaboration between various people and constituted
bodies around the globe, we welcome any feedback and comments
on any aspect of presentation and content. Once again we would
like to extend our invitation to all those interested in posting
a paper on this bulletin to come forth. We welcome all participation
with open arms and look forward to sharing information, news,
and reports with all the members of the Sacred Heart community.
And finally we would like to take this opportunity to thank all
those who encouraged and inspired us to produce the AMASC World
Youth Bulletin.
Yours truly,
Ana, Alessia and Rachel.
