Easter Course 2016
Wednesday 10th August 2016This year’s Easter Course took place in Transylvania, part of Northern Romania, hosted by IKE, the Transylvanian YMCA. The course saw Christian youth organisations from across Europe come together to learn more from our experiences of working with young people in our own communities, sharing faith and how to bring more young people into faith and exchanging activities, games and ideas that each organisation showcases.
The theme of the course was ‘Love your Neighbour?’ and focused on the ongoing Refugee crisis in Europe and how we as individuals, and organisations, can help, learning from different perspectives. Participants took time to visit a local orphanage and learn more about the work that is taking place to support orphans in Romania, and there was also time to visit local attractions in this historical and beautiful part of the world having a lot of fun along the way, including taking part in the annual Eastervision Talent Contest, and the Easter Games.
Next year’s course takes place from 9th to 16th April 2017 in Denmark. Registration
