lecture phase

The 12 week lecture phase will include various types of learning opportunities such as formal lecture times, small group discussions, assignments, worship & intercession, living together in community, helping practically around the base social events, outdoor activities, and more.  Emphasis will be placed on how to develop your personal relationship with God and Christ-like character.  As part of the lecture phase this school will also participate in Regeneration, a two week outreach in Montreux, Switzerland during the international music festival. You can find out more about the Regeneration outreach at www.ywamlausanne.com/regeneration

outreach phase

The outreach phase is the time to put what you’ve learned into practice, while continuing the learning process. Outreach teams will be sent out into the nations to share the gospel. The opportunities are endless- you could go anywhere! This is a great time to learn how to share your faith in a variety of ways as you make God known in the nations through evangelism and community development.

frequently asked questions

How much sport will we do?

Each week we will have two or three times of group exercise and one afternoon of sports activities planned into the schedule. We will also spend one week biking across Switzerland to build friendships and see the country. There are plans for a gym on the base and many sports facilities exist in the area already, so you can always get out and be active in your free time. Be sure to bring any sports gear that you may want to have during the dts. The amount of sports is really up to you!

What kind of sports will we do?

We will use sports like soccer, volleyball, basketball and Frisbee to build relationships and reach out to people in the city where we live. We will also do days of hiking and a bike trip to take the classroom outdoors, using creation to continue the personal growth and learning while exploring the beauty of Switzerland. Many other types of sports are possible in Switzerland such as swimming, rollerblading, rock climbing, kayaking, sailing, hang gliding, and many more!

Will sports be a part of the outreach?

At least one of the outreach teams will also participate in a two week prayer and intercession trek among unreached people groups in Northern India. This trip will continue to use sports as one of the tools to reach out to people and explore God’s creation, just like during the lecture phase.
