ONE Programme: Teams
ONE Programme: Teams provides opportunities for young people to be part of a short-term visit that enables them to encounter a different part of the world, a different way of life, or some other experience to open and broaden their minds.
It is an opportunity to encourage reflection, consider calling and support growth in discipleship.
ONE Programme: Teams offers overseas and UK-based trips.
Our overseas trips are in partnership with Global Relationships, and the Encounter Together and Encounter Worldwide programmes, which offer part-funded opportunities for Methodists aged 18-26 to serve for up to two years with a world church partner.
The UK trips work in partnership with the Children, Youth and Family team to offer young people the opportunity to experience different ways of expressing faith and a different way of life much closer to home.
Upcoming Trips…
Due to Covid-19 we needed to postpone our trips and are currently aiming to start ONE Programme: Teams trips again from Spring 2022.
