Joyful Together is the Gave Foundation's new intercultural women's event that will kick off in Emmeloord on Saturday 11 April. Dutch women and women from refugee backgrounds can meet, encourage and make new contacts here.
Joyful Together is a Christian event where women from other faiths can also feel at home. In an approachable way, Christian faith is shared through an encouraging word, prayer and cross-cultural singing and music. Interpreters will be present for a number of languages, including Arabic, Farsi and English.
In the afternoon, creative workshops are offered and the women conclude with a joint dance. For lunch, participants bring their own food, after which each other's culinary skills can be sampled.
This event is particularly suitable for introducing Dutch women to women from other cultures. In addition, local women's groups and volunteers can get in touch or strengthen mutual contact.
Gave also wants to organise the event in other places in the Netherlands, so that it is accessible to many women.
The women's event on Saturday 11 April will take place in the building of Free Baptist Church ‘de Fontein’ at Wilgenlaan 4 in Emmeloord. More information and registration: gift.nl/joyful
