Original description of conference(s)

English translation. 5-17 August 1980: "International Youth Assembly: Tomorrow, our responsibility". Themes:

Resources: there is not enough for everyone's greed, but there could be enough for everyone's needs. The resource problem is not so much caused by scarcity as by excessive consumption and unfair distribution."
"Poverty: yes to practical action to feed, house, educate the destitute multitudes; but not forgetting that it will take as much dedication and compassion to heal the haves from their spiritual poverty."
