Three young adults from each island were elected together with a young adult coordinator, with the aim of encouraging further collaborative projects.

These young people visited sites of spiritual interest and gained a deeper understanding of each other’s belief traditions. The outcomes of this tour were very promising.

 IARF funded this project, which involved a member of our International Council plus two of the organisation’s regional coordinators in the Philippines.
