Camp - Scholarship Program 2024

Beginning February 19 through March 30, 2024, applications are being accepted for the Scholarship program dedicated to adult international camps in the summer of 2024.

Our scholarship program offers the opportunity to participate in 4 international camps that bring different reflections on current issues. By participating, you will meet people from different cultures and backgrounds, and this experience will give you the opportunity to be part of the creation of this community. The most memorable part of the experience is putting yourself out there and confronting a current issue. Agape will succeed in taking you out of your comfort zone, but also in creating utopias of a better world where diversity is embraced.

This year we have included a new camp at the beginning of the 3 classic international camps. The idea would be to build in these first days of August a community that lays the foundation for the path that will then be taken in the next 3 camps and would like to create a safe space for those who spend it:

• 2 – 5 August, Ubuntu Camp: I am because we are
• 6 – 11 August, Theological Camp: Peace e Riconciliation
• 12 – 17 August, Ultragender Camp: I exist – A story of love, hope, and empathy
• 18 – 23 August, Oikonomia Camp: (De)colonization

Agape provides scholarships for people over eighteen who want to take part in the international camps at Agape. In particular we would like to offer scholarships to people from the Southern Hemisphere and Eastern Europe to further their participation in our international camps. We can reimburse some travel expenses and fund the cost of staying at Agape. Regretfully, we are not able to meet every request for financial aid since the demand is greater than the funds that we have available. All applications will be considered carefully. In particular, Agape appreciates applications from people who would like to take part in all our four international camps and stay longer as a workcamp volunteer.
