The EMES Youthgroup meets monthly online. Each session begins with a short period of worship and ends with a slightly longer period of worship known as an ‘epilogue’; usually with a piece of music, image or reading to focus on. The meetings are informal and an opportunity to get to know other Young Friends around Europe. Please see the Quaker Youth Programmes page of our website for additional background information about the youthgroup and our other work with Young Friends.
We have a variety of different activities including inviting external speakers, discussions, art or craft activities and of course games. All participants are encouraged to offer activities and join in with the planning. If you would like to offer an activity please contact Michael Eccles.
The working languages of the meetings are English and German, but there is an option to tell us if you need support with another language on request interpretation on the registration form. Anyone aged 12-18 is welcome to join us.
