• assist in conducting the business of AYM through the formal sessions led by our Presiding Clerk, Ann Zubrick
• consider, in Friendly School with Aletia Dundas and Adrian Glamorgan, how we see our place in the world and how the world sees us and discuss this with other Friends in break-out groups
• consider, with the Backhouse panellists (Dorothy Broom, Gerry Fahey, Duncan Frewin and Pamela Leach): Searching for Truth: Friends in a “post-truth” world
• meet, over coffee, with Friends around Australia, facilitated by Queensland Friends

There will be a children’s program and an opportunity for JYFs to join in activities. The children and JYFs will organise two all-ages Meetings for Worship during the week.

You can join in all these activities or attend only one or two.

YM21 will be supported by Elders and Pastoral Carers from all Regional Meetings. A help desk will be available to assist if you have any questions.

See you there !
