About F.A.C.E.
About F.A.C.E. is an opportunity for young adults to spend time in Aboriginal communities around Australia and/or with partner churches in the Asia-Pacific region in order to:
* develop friendships
* build bridges of mutual understanding
* share stories
* integrate reconciliation with relationships
* create an experience which encourages an about face in the attitude and lifestyles of participants.
The program is 3 weeks in length, and the next About F.A.C.E. will take place from 27th June - 19th July, 2009.
About F.A.C.E. 9 is a national youth project of the Uniting Church in Australia, and About F.A.C.E. 9 is being coordinated by the Synod of Victoria and Tasmania. Contact Tess Keam or Jill Ruzbacky for further information.
