Greetings from Beirut and the Middle East!
Unfortunately, this part of the world continues to make the news and fill the TV screens all over the world. The reason you have not heard from us reference Gaza, has to do with the fact that we can't communicate with our YMCA colleagues over there.

ETS Conference
The ETS conference is the place to be if you are a Ten Singer, who wants to learn more about Ten Sing in other countries. At the ETS conference Ten Sing leaders from many countries in Europe share and exchange ideas. The ETS conference is also the place where we decide what we want Ten Sing to be and do at the European level. If you are a leader from a country that not yet have Ten Sing, you are welcome to participate and hopefully get new ideas how to start Ten Sing back home.

Georgia Crisis and YMCA Europe Response to it
The Georgia Crisis once again came to prove that the Caucasus remains a dangerous mine of inter-ethnic conflicts, with a vast number of very sensitive detonators originating from within the history of the region or from the contemporary geopolitical developments.
Resultant once again humanitarian crisis is plundering this beautiful corner of the world, devastating lives and hopes. It will take considerable time and immense efforts until things go to normal in Georgia and in the wider region.
