The purpose is spelled out by them like this;

Mission Statement
The Mission Statement describes the following three areas:

1. People meet people
We want TT:04 Connected to give an experience of community and belonging
- In the small format, where people meet people face to face and friendship might be born and grow
- In the medium format, where all can see each other and be and do together
- In the large format, where all have their own place, still appreciating that we are many!

We want TT:04 Connected to give the individual an experience of being appreciated and valued. At TT:04 Connected noone shall be treated only as a spectator. All shall be included in the community in action and play, in talking, in prayer and worship. The freedom to choose has to be combined with the assistance to risk and take part.

2. Christ meets us
We want TT:04 Connected to be an experience communicating with teenagers on their own terms/wavelength. On this wavelength we want to convey what God wants for our life. In this way TT:04 Connected will not only reflect the contemporary youth culture, but also present alternative values. Alternative values are not only ethics and ideals. We will convey the Gospel and inspire to a vivid faith in Jesus Christ.

3. We meet the world
We want TT:04 Connected to give an experience of belonging to each other, we who live on God’s earth. We will open doors to the world and show what challenges we are faced with. We will present the international dimension and work of the YWCA-YMCA. We will present ways of action in solidarity and in love for our neighbours.

It will be fun and getting excited ................... see you when I get back unless I can drop down in front of a wi-fi hotspot somewhere.
