Each day, a Bible reflection is given by a brother of the community or by a sister of Saint Andrew, followed by small-group sharing.

In the afternoon, workshops help to deepen the relationship between faith and life, solidarity and the search for peace, social questions and ecology, art and culture, etc.

Please read the following information. Don't forget to register in advance.

General Information

for a week at Taizé

Dates

• Young people from 18 to 35 years old: Every week from February 1 to December 24; there will also be a special week for this age-group from August 25 to September 1.
• Young people from 15 to 17 years old: Every week from February 1 to December 24, except the week from August 25 to September 1.

Meetings always take place from Sunday to Sunday. A group of young people may also arrive on Saturday evening if they are staying for the following week. In this case, they will be asked to help welcome new arrivals on Sunday.

(A weekend stay from Thursday or Friday to Sunday is also possible. However, it is preferable to come for a full week. A weekend stay with arrival on Saturday morning is too short to get into the rhythm of life in Taizé.)

The exceptions to this rule are the two weeks around Easter, during which the day of arrival and departure is Monday.

In 2025, this means

• Holy Week: Sunday April 13 to Monday April 21
• Easter Week: Monday April 21 to Sunday April 27

Accommodation

Living conditions are simple. Please try and bring a tent if you come at Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, in the summer and for All Saints’.

Please also bring a sleeping-bag, mat or air-mattress and blankets.

If you cannot bring a tent, you will stay in one of our tents or in a cabin (men and women separate). You will receive your accommodation upon arrival. In the winter, heated cabins are available for all.

Contribution to the costs

The hospitality at Taizé is financed by contributions from participants in the meetings, and everyone is asked to contribute according to their means. The suggested contribution covers meals, accommodation, and other expenses. It is not the same for everyone, but takes into account each person's means and country of origin. A minimum and maximum amount are suggested, and everyone is free to choose what they wish to give. You can read the page “Financial contribution” to find out more about how costs are calculated and the different ways of paying.
