The 15th batch of the International Animators Learning Programme was led at the Camillian Pastoral Centre, Bangkok from 3rd July to 14th July 2024. With the increasing complexity of the issues that today's youth face, it is all the more important that we have well-trained animators in the various aspects of youth animation. This training is a small step in that direction.
17 participants from across 10 countries attended this holistic training, equipping themselves with skills needed to be better animators, mentors and pastors. The participants included 6 priests, 1 religious sister and 10 lay persons. The programme was coordinated by Jomy Abraham, supported by Sr. Jaya, and Fr. Simon Cheruvathoor as chaplain.
Well-known resources included Dr. Edward Edezhath, C.C. Joseph, Raiju Varghese, Tomas Michael, Peter Akbar and Dr. Midhun Paul facilitated the learning sessions. The programme concluded with a commissioning ceremony and mass, celebrated by Fr. Paul Trairong Multree, Bishop-Elect of Surat Thani, Thailand.
