Camps have always been a vital part of the YMCA movement. Camps that have changed the lives of thousands. The “Campacity” project is focused on building capacity for YMCA camping movement in Europe, with a focus on Ukraine.
The participants took part in different theoretical and practical sessions delivered by YMCA camp directors and professionals from different parts of the USA. Network, learn and share – that was the main purpose of the event. Thematic workshops by representatives of YMCA Camps and presentations from YMCAs of the Netherlands, Germany, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Spain and Ukraine created a great atmosphere and solid platform for mutual learning, sharing and growth.

Wer hätte je gedacht, dass die letzten Grüße von Juan Simoes, dem Generalsekretär des YMCA Europa, zwei Jahre später so wichtig werden würden. Wir im YMCA beten und arbeiten in einer Welt, die sich durch Probleme so sehr verändert hat. Lasst uns gemeinsam aufstehen, beten und dann gemeinsam verantwortungsvoll handeln. Die Zukunft des CVJM liegt in der weltweiten Vernetzung, so dass wir mit Gottes Geist und Kraft vieles verändern können.Und das ist deine Chance im CVJM Europa, wenn du an deinen Meister denkst!
Who would have ever thought that the last greetings of Juan Simoes, YMCA Europe Secretary General, would become so important two years later. We in the YMCA pray and work in a world so changed by troubles. Let us stand up together, pray and then act responsibly together. The future of the YMCA lies in networking worldwide, so with God's spirit and power we can change many things.And this is your chance in the YMCA Europe, if you think about your master!

Informationen zur Lage in der Ukraine und zur Unterstützung durch den Deutschen CVJM
CVJM und YMCA stehen seit ihren Anfängen für Versöhnung und Frieden ein. Nach den beiden Weltkriegen wirkte der YMCA als Friedensstifter in der Begleitung von Kriegsgefangenen, Soldaten und der Zivilbevölkerung. Damit geht einher, dass wir jegliche Form von Gewalt
und Missbrauch von Macht verurteilen.
Der CVJM-Westbund sammelt aktuelle Informationen zur Situation in der Ukraine,
zur Hilfe durch unseren Partner KIE Ungarn und zur Unterstützung durch den deutschen

50 days sustainability challenge
"möglich! – nachhaltig. spirituell. intensiv." the Evangelical Church of Westphalia. It focuses on sustainability, lifestyle, and spirituality, urging participants to take action for 50 days in small groups. Every person chooses a challenge to accomplish by the end of the event, and you help your partners to do the same. Weekly meetings encourage discussions on faith and sustainability, with daily for spiritual strength.
As climate and sustainability concerns grow, we take inspiration from Luke 18:27: "What's impossible for humans is possible with God." This program challenges us to explore what's possible, what we hope for, and how to take action.
