Thus it is planned to strengthen sharing the gospel and interfaith dialogue, for example in Indonesia, as well as the commitment to peace and justice especially on the Korean peninsula and in the Middle East. Conferences will be held for missiological education and training. The Women’s and Youth Networks are planning international consultations, whilst special attention will be paid to the exchange of personnel both in the Ecumenical Volunteers and Study Programmes.
