World Youth Alliance (WYA) Europe invites young people from all over Europe to a 4-day summer camp (June 26- 29, 2009), "The Drama of Love" in a beautiful mansion in Orleans, France, to learn about and experience love, fulfilment and the goal and meaning of life. Through different lectures, workshops and movies we will learn about love and relationships, their potential for problems but also for fulfilment and happiness, as well as one's own personality. We will also explore the wisdom of great literature such as Greek and Roman mythology, Plato, etc. We will visit Paris and the castles and sights of the Loire valley, the very place of Renaissance romanticism and acquire journalistic and writing skills through the composition of a Viviamo magazine.

More information will be online soon, until then please contact us at iris@wya.net.

WYA Charter

The World Youth Alliance is composed of young men and women from every part of the world. In cooperation with other organs of the international community, primarily the United Nations and the European Union, the World Youth Alliance is committed to building free and just societies through a culture of life. That culture affirms the inalienable dignity of the person, defends the intrinsic right to life, nurtures the family, and fosters a social climate favorable to integral development, solidarity, and mutual respect.

We recognize that the intrinsic dignity of the person is the foundation of every human right. We believe this dignity is independent of any individual condition and that no human community can grant or rescind that dignity.

We are convinced that the intrinsic dignity possessed by every human being from conception to natural death is the foundation of everyone's right to life. We believe that this inalienable right to life is the basis of a free and just society and we believe that society through law and culture has an obligation to protect the dignity of the person and thus protect the right to life.

We affirm that the fundamental unit of human society is the family, where men and women learn to live in genuine freedom and solidarity, and where individuals are equipped to fulfill their social obligations. We believe that the political community at the local, national and international level is obliged to protect and nurture the family.
