The Chaplaincy Enschede organizes a trip to Taizé
For those who don't know it, Taizé is a monastery focused on: encounter, silence and spirituality. The ecumenical monastic community of Taizé (in French Burgundy) is one of the most popular religious attractions in Europe. Especially for young people. Many thousands of young people visit the community every year.
Taizé gives direction to your life
A trip to Taizé means, whether or not accompanied by 'the brothers of Taizé': meeting a lot of young people from many countries, and looking for a conversation together, about life, about trust, or what is really valuable, what gives life meaning... and what not. A Taizé trip really means deepening. Taizé gives direction to your life.
Taizé also means singing, singing a lot, singing together, singing wonderfully. Because few things are as unifying as, coming from all kinds of languages, singing Taizé songs together, in all kinds of languages. Simple songs, repeated until the singing comes all by itself, and the song starts to carry you.
And Taizé means rest, real rest, a lot of time for prayer, for silence. The silence of Taizé does a person so much good, in the hustle and bustle of our time.
The journey
For young people aged 18 to 35, the Student Chaplaincy Enschede organises a trip to Taizé from 13 to 20 July. Depending on the number of participants, we travel with vans or, in case of larger participation, with one bus. Your own tent is basically your place to stay. Furthermore, in Taizé your food and drinks are well organised, as is the daily programme. The cost will depend slightly on the number of participants, but it will be close to €250.
