QCEA-QPSW Conference: Castle or community? Quakers' role in building the new Europe

4 - 6 December 2015, Brussels

Friends from all over Europe are invited to gather in Brussels and reflect on these questions together:

  • What kind of Europe do we want?
  • How do we work together to build the Europe we want?
  • How can Quaker values and processes contribute to effective advocacy?
  • How does our witness inform our advocacy and affect European policy?

This conference will give Friends the opportunity to explore our vision for Europe, our hopes and fears, and our current concerns. Above all, we will have the opportunity to connect with and build community with Friends from all over Europe.

There will be facilitated discussions by a team of Quaker facilitators and the chance to hear a keynote speaker on the witness and advocacy work of QCEA and from a Friend working within one of the European institutions. There will also be a choice of workshops and discussion groups to learn more about the work of QCEA and QPSW.

Closing date for registration is now 30 September 2015.
Booking is essential as places are limited!
