Each network that presented a “Hope talk” on the day will have the chance to deepen discussions in Builder Groups. These will be highly interactive groups with the idea of sharing, learning, creating, planning, problem-solving, etc. together with participants. The Builder Groups will ideally have maximum diversity between participants categories (NEAs, Networks, Affiliates, Denominations) and regional background (North, South, East, West of Europe).

The session starts by convening big Builder Groups (all participants who are interested in the work of a specific network). All HOPE 2022 participants can freely choose which group to join. After a short introduction these big groups split into smaller Builder Groups who then each take up a specific focus or angle.
