about face 2010 applications close soon
Applications for the About FACE 2010 program close in 2 weeks ? Friday 26th February, 2010!
About FACE 2010 is a?Faith?And?Cultural?Exchange for young adults between 18 and 30 years, to take place from 26th June to 17th July, 2010.? Participants will elect to spend two weeks in a placement with either an Aboriginal community in Australia, or with one of our partner churches in the Asia-Pacific region. The About FACE program is an exciting and strategic opportunity for young adults to participate in the reconciliation and covenanting process with Aboriginal communities in Australia, and to share in solidarity with partner churches in the region.
The program will raise awareness of what it means to live in a global community, and to share resources and opportunities responsibly and with justice. It aims to create an ?about face? in the attitudes and lifestyles of participants, and to build relationships and bridges of understanding. About FACE is not simply an event for an individual, but is a shared experience with congregations and communities.
In 2010, placements will be within indigenous Australian communities, SE Asia, South Asia and the Pacific.
