Small sharing groups for 18-35 year olds

On this coming weekend, we will be offering young adults aged 18 to 35 the opportunity to take part in small sharing groups from home. Adults over 35 years old can of course form groups as well on their own, as the Bible reflection and questions will be available to all. For legal reasons we are unable to integrate minors, but group leaders who wish can consider appropriate options locally for their group members.

  • Before registering, young people aged 18 to 35 who wish to participate must read the user charter in French or English.
  • To register, please use the form online here
  • Final date for registration: Sunday, August 23.
  • To send us feedback, offer a suggestion, or report inappropriate behavior, please write an email to meet taize.fr.
