Sweden here we come!

Hi, i'm shabz from YMCA Bradford. Only a few days left now till we fly off to Sweden to participate in a conference on Youth Work with YMCA friends from across Europe. I've hardly had time to think about it as YMCA Bradford are also in the process of moving to our new state of the art Youth Centre - Culture Fusion and it has been a hectic couple of weeks. But it is a privilige to be selected to represent both YMCA England and my local YMCA in Sweden and I am very excited and eagerly awaiting what promises to be a very interesting week. Many thanks to Ken Montgomery and YMCA Bradford for this opportunity.

This is not the first time i have participated in a YMCA Global event as i was also lucky enough to go to Bangladesh in July. Whilst this will be a very different experience i am certain it will be as eye opening and as wonderful as my trip to Bangladesh. I can't wait to once again meet and share ideas with YMCA friends and colleagues from different countries and contribute to another international YMCA event. This will be another fantastic learning opportunity with which to strengthen the work we do at my local YMCA and share our experiences with YMCA's across Europe.

Shabz
