What is YPAT?

Are you a young person aged between 18 to 30? Do you want to learn more about the political, social and institutional structures of the world? Do you want to learn what you can do to make a difference, exactly where you are? 
YPAT is about the polis – that broad, all-encompassing social and cultural realm in which we all live. The polis is why there are such things as politics and policies.
YPAT is about action and advocacy, but more than that, it is about the reasons for such things and even the reasons why stillness, waiting, and contemplation might be the most effective action.
YPAT is a week-long immersion retreat into society and politics – a residential program where you’ll gain knowledge, insight, and some practical understanding of today's cultural and political systems.

You’ll make like-minded friends and spend hours discussing your passions and goals over meals and activities.
