THE HOPE HAPPENING IS MADE UP OF SIX PARTS
WALK OF HOPE
You will cover the final stretch to Brussels Expo on foot, and have spiritual encounters along the way around three themes (unity, climate and refugees).
Further details about the pilgrimage will be communicated.
CITY OF HOPE
For the occasion, Brussels Expo will be transformed into a city of hope where you can inspire each other. Inside Brussels Expo a real village of inspiration will be built, where you can participate in workshops about faith, hope and other themes that you - religious or not - are working on.
Further details about the location will be communicated.
CIRCLE OF HOPE
Powerful thought leaders inspire you from the connection between their civic engagement and (seeking) faith.

For the other youngsters, the night starts at 23h.
What to bring: Sleeping bag, sleeping mat, nightwear, warm sweater, toiletries, water bottle, clothing for the celebration of Mass and possibly other personal necessities.
Further concrete details about overnight accommodations will be communicated.
