Round Tables
On the afternoon of Friday 11th May there will be some round tables that complement the plenary session and act as a ‘bridge’ towards the “Together for Europe” Day to take place on Saturday 12th May.
They will consider possible future developments and address the most pressing questions. Most of the contributors come from the participating movements and organisations. After the input participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and make personal contributions.
The subjects have been chosen so that they can illustrate the life that emerges from the faith lived in the movements, organisations and communities. They should also show how this affects society.
Tickets for the Round Tables will be available in the foyer of the Liederhalle on Thursday.
