Presentation of the St. Maurice Statement

Jooa from Finland, Julia from Poland and Petra from Germany were on the stage to present our Youth Statement from St.Maurice.
Great: 3 young women on the stage, with a very short presentation of a paper which has not only some general sentences, but also concrete proposals. It was very different to most of the appearances of the last days! Maybe that's why they got the longest applause of the whole assembly.

I think, they presented a very good picture of young people and of our work.

Dear Youth Delegates in Sibiu! I want to send greetings from Hannover, northern part of Germany! We are preparing an ecumenical youth workshop and service tomorrow with our catholic brothers and sisters and therefore we are really interested in reading this blog and all other news from Sibiu. We sent the your statement to epd and we will make use of it in our ecumenical meeting tomorrow! Thank you for your critical presence! God bless you yours Cornelia Dassler, Landesjugendpastorin, Hannover

Yep, judging the reactions of other delegates, they managed to inspire them to be a bit more concrete. And it was really great to hear the comments on the draft message that we should be inspired by youth and be more concrete ;-)
We just forgot about gender balance of the presenters ;-)

It was to make a balance to all the speakers and committees dominated by black colour - what does mean by men.
For me, this assembly is too much male-dominated.
Look on the tent. It's dark, not really nice. All of the organisers seem to have been men, because woman also think about improving the atmosphere.

Hi Young Delegates and Stewards!
Thank you for this BLOG! I know it's hard to find time to write in the middle of the big "party" but I really appreciate it!
Just that I found the page totally by chance, because there is no link on the eea3 page...
Stay together and please come up with some good photos of young people motivated for ecumenism!
Greetings from Germany,
Christina Biere
