Events
Events arranged by groups of members in their home town for other members who may come from nearby or from anywhere in the world.
They have ranged from one day to six weeks, but more usually last three to five days. Programmes include visits to places of interest, special projects, theatres, museums, walks – but always time for talking, sharing meals and just being together.
Those attending Gatherings make their own travel arrangements but accommodation, usually with local members, is arranged by the organisers.
Each Gathering is different, having its own character and flavour, depending on organisers and location.
Attending a Gathering is a good way for new members to learn about the spirit of 5W and for longer-standing members to meet up again with old friends.
Since the first Gathering in Belgium in 1986, these events have taken place all over the world, including Iceland, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, USA, Australia, Romania, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, India, Ghana, Hungary, Sweden, Italy, Czech Republic, Canada and the UK.
