YMCA Europe 2008 Festival

In August 2003 the European Alliance of YMCAs (EAY) celebrated its 30 years anniversary and 7500 young people, most of them from European YMCAs came to the city park in Prague to celebrate for a week.

This was the first time an international YMCA youth event of this size was organised in Europe. The programme included Morning Singspirations, hundreds of workshops and talkshops, sports competitions and scout activities, displays and exhibitions, Ten Sing performances and stage shows and a big concert with "The Tribe". One evening was devoted to ecumenical services and one day the Festival took to the streets of Prague and dominated the city for some hours with very colourful programmes. It was a great success, and inspired the Executive Committee of the YMCA Europe to plan for a new Festival in 2008.
