On June 5-6, the EYF conducted a monitoring visit to the international activity of the Ecumenical Youth Council in Europe (EYCE) in Malaga, Spain. The event "The Shelter We Seek - A Critical Reflection on Church as a Safer Space," was a five-day international training course that brought together 19 young individuals from local church communities and EYCE member organizations, representing 13 different countries. Participants delved into the concept of safer spaces, critically examined their organizational structures, and explored methods to create safer spaces, particularly for marginalized and discriminated young people. Following the training, participants will develop content for an awareness raising social media campaign.

This project was supported by the EYF through its international activity grant programme.
