Registration questions:
Yes, everyone is welcome at our conferences. We do emphasize that we are a Catholic organization, and our conferences therefore also contain Catholic masses and themes. We therefore expect that you will treat this with respect. If you still have trouble with this, we ask you to contact us first.
Our conferences are open to anyone aged 16 and over. Unfortunately, if you are younger than 16 you cannot register. Please note: if you are not yet 18+ you need permission from your parents to come. We will also check for this.
We believe it is important that everyone should be able to attend our conferences, regardless of their financial situation. If paying the participation fee is a problem, please send an email to [email protected]. Our treasurer will then look at the possibilities together with you.
Yes. Everyone is welcome at our conferences, young and old. For the elderly, it should be taken into account that our conferences are mainly aimed at young people / young adults, and that the program is therefore designed accordingly.
If you have limited mobility / are less able, we refer to the registration page. Here you will find which facilities are available at the location. Of course we take everyone into account and adapt where possible.
