United World
Week 2014
will be from 1st to 11th May. The central event will be
in Africa as this year’s focus is on this continent.
The
official opening of the UWW will take place through a worldwide link-up on 1st
May at 2:00 pm (Nairobi – Kenya – local time) and end in Burundi (no link up
yet) on 11th May.
However,
the UWW is celebrated all over the world and the theme of this year is
“RECIPROCITY” especially with all the people in need, such as lonely or elderly
people, the immigrants, the sick, those who are emarginated, the sad and
desperate persons,…
The
Y4UW group will be arriving in Kenya on 25th April and on 6th
May a small group will proceed to Burundi.
In
Kenya, we will have a 3-day Y4UW School after a day visit to the Mariapolis and
to the capital Nairobi. The whole experience will be a reciprocity workshop. We
want to concentrate these days on discovering one anothers’ positive values
which are the foundation to building a more United World. The whole group will
be around 120 persons – with half coming from the African Continent and the
other half from the rest of the world.
After
the Y4UW school, we will spend one day preparation for the 1st May event and
then the climax – a open day for about 1000 people with the concert of Gen
Sorriso (a band from Burundi).
We
will also have social activity in one of the main hospitals of Nairobi and an
occasion to present “the culture of fraternity” in one of the universities.
