Twenty thousand young people will take part in the European meeting in Basel (December 28-January 1^st) animated by the ecumenical community of Taizé. Silence, prayer and moments of reflection on major topical issues. Many opportunities for sharing and to make friends. Interview with Fr Alois. A sign of hope in the hearts of the young. For Taizé this is the most anticipated “outcome” of the European meeting of young people organized by the ecumenical community in a different European city every year. Basel will be the venue of the 2017 meeting – December 28 to January 1^st. Over 15thousand youths are expected to arrive in the Swiss city for the new leg of the “Pilgrimage of faith on earth”, initiated by frère Roger many years ago. “A sign of hope”, Fr Alois, prior of the Taizé community, told SIR. “The future is not easy for young people today. It isn’t easy in our societies, and especially in Europe. We hope this meeting will send a sign of hope.”
