Represent GFS in South Africa

by | posted in: News | 0

Applications are now open for two young women aged 16-25 to represent England or Wales at GFS World Council 2020. GFS will be sending two junior delegates; one representing England and one representing Wales. The delegates will have their accommodation and travel to South Africa paid for.

Role of GFS World Council junior delegate

  • To represent the society’s views as a whole, rather than their own personal view.
  • To attend all sessions of the World Council including worship, activities, business and junior delegate meetings.
  • To keep a diary whilst at World Council, in order to share with others their experiences upon return.
  • To give a presentation at the GFS Annual General Meeting following World Council.

This is a Christian gathering and all those attending, while not necessarily needing to have faith, will have to be mindful and respectful of this, and be prepared to participate in any associated activities
