Stewards programme and ecumenical leadership training seminarThe WCC brings together a regionally and confessionally diverse group of young people to participate in leadership training seminars, and to serve at WCC governing body meetings. Such meetings provide many opportunities for "on the job" ecumenical formation. Stewards may also participate in other events, like those run by ecumenical youth organizations or, as was the case in January 2007, the World Social Forum in Kenya. The leadership training seminars equip young people with skills and resources to continue their work on issues important to the churches at the regional and local levels. Sweet memories from the stewards programme (WCC Central Committee 2006):The meeting of the WCC Central Committee, which monitors and sets directions for the Council's work, took place from 28 August to 6 September, 2006 in Geneva, Switzerland. A group of young people from all over the world participated in the meeting as stewards. Click here to read their testimonies! |
