Looking ahead to Ireland Yearly Meeting 2027, to be held in Newtown School Waterford during 1st – 4th April 2027, the Programme Committee invite you to submit proposals for Special Interest Groups (SIGs), which will take place, in-person, during IYM.
The Committee hopes to put together a varied and interesting selection of SIGs with relevant topics, activities, and concerns from individuals or groups, young and not so young.
SIGs run for between 75-90 minutes and can be facilitated by one or more people; having two or three facilitators often works well.
If you have a topic that you would like to propose, or an idea that you feel Friends might usefully explore, please send an email containing the title and a short description of the session and how it might work, together with the proposed facilitators, to Kate Carver (katealbion@gmail.com) by January 5, 2027.
If you have an idea for a SIG but would like help developing a proposal or finding suitable facilitators, please email Kate by December 15, 2026. The Committee will decide on the final shape of the SIG programme in January, and are hopeful that a wide variety of topics from around the island will be proposed.
Live adventurously!
