Apart from those who come for one week there is also a number of young people, 18-29 years old, who live alongside the community for a longer time —anything from a few weeks to a year.
Their stay is a way to take a step back from their everyday life —to reflect, to share with others and to search inwardly. Those who stay longer than a week share the different practical responsibilities necessary for welcoming people in Taizé.
Young people who stay longer are accompanied by one of the sisters, for women, or one of the brothers, for men. A weekly meeting offers the opportunity to talk over the ideas and questions that arise during their stay.
If you are interested in this, please contact the welcome team before coming to Taizé. There are also special meetings at the end of the week in Taizé for those interested in staying longer.
