Life is My Adventure

The central theme FES chose for this year’s edition of Skolasajf 2024 is “Life is My Adventure ”. This slogan encourages everyone to have a positive attitude towards life, as it offers excellent opportunities and should be lived as one great adventure. Every moment we experience, positive or negative, is part of our journey. Each experience is a learning curve. Each failure is just the identification of something that did not work, and we continue looking for the solution to each circumstance. Families, friends, school, holidays, work…each hour spent within these environments is ours, and we should make the most of it.

During this session, there were these prayer activities:

Be Still: Prayer Word

During this time one is inivted to be still and meditate on ma-ra-na-ta.

Refugee Backpack

During this prayer space one reflects on refugees – people who leave their countries for good due to varied reasons and what the real essentials in one’s life.

Forgiveness Stones

In this prayer space one reflects on the good feeling of letting go and forgiving someone who caused pain.

Bubbles of Wishes

This prayer space allows one to ask God for a dream or a wish to come true.

Hula Hoop Hop

Bus Blessings

During this prayer activity, the participant can appreciate the relationships with their families and friends and be grateful to God and for them.
