Application for EMEYF Spring Gathering 2005

EMEYF Spring Gathering 19th to 26th March 2005, Ermelo, the Netherlands

Building and Breaking Walls: exploring the boundaries we make for ourselves and for others in our spiritual, everyday and political lives.

The Gathering will explore the theme "Building and Breaking Walls". Within this theme we will explore the boundaries we make for ourselves and for others in our spiritual, everyday and political lives, discovering at the same time that the walls we create do not always separate us but can sometimes lead to mutual understanding. Let's share our authenticity, let's be open to others' experiences, let's explore different issues in a welcoming and cheerful multicultural surrounding.

Cost: between €120 and €140

Age: 18-35

Who: Young Quakers from around Europe and the Middle East

Accommodation is on old farmhouse with several rooms, with bunk beds. Single sex rooms are a possibility.
