The aim of this meeting was to deepen and make visible our spirituality of accompanying and working with refugees and forced migrants. The programme offered different elements that helped us

  • To pray together

  • To share and reflect on our experiences with refugees.

  • To develop a language how to speak about our spirituality.

  • To develop tools that we can use back in our countries together with volunteers and collaborators.
