Schedule
Under the theme “Trust the Journey – Shape the Future Together”, our conference will bring together the experiences, ideas and perspectives of our member organisations from across the region. Throughout the week, we will share what is happening in our communities, learn from one another and discover different ways of living diakonia. There will be space to present projects and experiences, exchange ideas in workshops, discover diaconal work in the Netherlands and work together in practical activities. We will also look ahead and explore what connects us and how we want to shape the future of DIAKONIA together. Worship, spiritual activities and plenty of time for conversation and personal encounters will be part of our journey.
