The ETS (European Ten Sing) National Representatives and Executive Committee finally gathered in person for their annual conference in vibrant Berlin, Germany—a welcome change after years of online meetings.
Sunny weather and city energy set the perfect backdrop for reconnection and progress. The event kicked off with a friendly dinner at a local restaurant, helping delegates from across Europe bond right away.
Each country then shared their National Reports, highlighting a year’s worth of projects, challenges, and wins—sparking lively discussions and inspiration.
Networking took center stage with teambuilding activities and icebreakers, making up for lost time in virtual spaces. Berlin Ten Sing added magic with an evening of music, fun, and performances that brought everyone together.
Beyond reports, delegates tackled key work sessions while soaking up Berlin’s sights—enjoying sunny walks and city exploration before heading home energized.
The ETS annual conference in Berlin offered a key moment for strategic reflection within European Ten Sing, YMCA Europe’s youth music and arts program.
Strategically, the European Ten Sing group can leverage these insights to unify efforts across countries, investing in hybrid events, talent development, and digital tools while preserving Ten Sing’s joyful, community-driven spirit for lasting impact.
