Colloquium

Gathers 40-60 young people engaged on local, regional or national level in different European Youth Organisations (among them around 30 from JECI-MIEC) to share their experiences and reflections around a subject of common concern. It is held every three years.
Promotes exchange on the work and engagement of the participants and their organisations and to deepen their knowledge about each other.
Analyses different aspects of a social, political or cultural theme coming from a diversity of viewpoints and backgrounds in a European perspective.
Initiates common formation processes around a subject in an inter-organisational, inter-confessional and inter-cultural context.
Develops common reflections about the possibilities and motivations of young people to engage in Society and the common challenges arising from the theme for them and their organisations.
Defines possible lines of action for the concrete reality on all levels (local-national-European), by encouraging collaboration as an important dimension of changes.

It takes place every three years – alternating with the Theological Session and the Training Session – usualy in the first half of the year.
