YMCA Europe Festival 2008
3-9 August 2008, Prague, Czech Republic
Global Youth Work
Real life has no borders, and at Prague we aim to show that real life for you, is real life for young people everywhere!
Each day the Global Tent will be open to all the festival participants for interactive and intercultural presentations, concerts, chill-out, games, workshops and much, much more to make our festival a global one and to show that we're actively working on creating a REAL LIFE without borders. It will be a place to meet and talk to young people from YMCAs from all over the world.
We want you all to get an insight into what REAL LIFE means to people all around the world. It may seem so different to our daily experiences, but when we look at a singles person's REAL LIFE ¬ we'll see that the issues that are of concern for young people are pretty much the same all over the world, in spite of all the differences in culture, wealth, faith. We find our own challenges mirrored in the REAL LIFE experiences of other young person that live in different countries. By sharing our experiences, problems, fears and joys, we can learn how to overcome them as young people and how as young people we can make a difference in our world.
