Time is provided to visit Lourdes (Shrine of Our Lady), at each one’s expense.
As the Taize Orientation Progrmme (T.O.P.) is essential, before leaving India, Taize Evaluation Progrmme (T.E.P.) of one full day (in Delhi) after coming to India, is a must for each participant in order to chalk out “Plan of Action” and implement the same on the return of the pilgrim to his/her home/parish/diocese.
While in Taize, each Delegate will have a “Guardian Angel” in the person of a Taize Brother or a Sister who guides to deepen each one’s reflection process.
Every Year Taize invites three bathes (9 each) of young People from India.
