QPSW Spring Conference: Being change - making change

1 - 3 April 2016, Derbyshire

How does QPSW work with Friends to make change happen - in our own lives and in the world?

At this interactive conference we will explore some of the many ways of working for peace and justice. We will highlight the work of several QPSW programmes and show how they are working for change, with each other, with other departments in Friends House and with local Friends, in new and exciting ways.

The QPSW Spring Conference is a spiritually based event which provides an opportunity to meet with Friends from across the Yearly Meeting and learn about the work QPSW does in the world on your behalf and how increasingly it is working with local Friends and meetings.

You will learn how the work we do springs from Quaker concerns and is discerned & overseen by Friends from all over Britain.

The Conference is particularly aimed at:

  • Fairly new Friends/Attenders
  • Seasoned Friends who want to reconnect with the work or learn more

  • Our witness in the world is part of what it means to be a Quaker today. At the Conference you will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with some of those who deliver the programmes of work at national level and who can provide you and your meeting with resources for action.
