​Online seminar:

Introduction

to Children at Risk,

first module.​​

​

 

This online seminar is for Christians who are passionate about reaching vulnerable children, families and communities, including street children, refugee children, children from broken homes, orphans, children living in slums, children living with HIV/AIDS and other children with different needs and challenges in their lives.​

​

It is for those who have completed a Discipleship Training School (DTS), the YWAM Basic School and the University of the Nations, AND for those who have not completed a DTS but have a heart for children and want more training. ​

 

It consists of a teaching session (2 x 1 hour) with a short break in the middle and a 30 minute small group/mentoring session at the end. The total time for each session is 3 hours. There are two sessions per week for a total of three weeks.​

 

We don't know yet when we will offer this first introductory online seminar again, but we will let you know as soon as we have the dates.​

​

After this first module we also offer a second and third module, each of three weeks online training.
