France: Derval: 400 Ambassadors of Peace!

On November 14th 2025, 400 Young People from the Mennaisian Network gathered at the Maison Saint-Donatien in Derval to experience a significant Time of Meetings, Reflection and Sharing around Peace.

During the Day of the 14th, there was a Game Session on the Large Property during which the Young People were divided into 25 Groups representing Countries where the Brothers are currently present. Each Country was represented by two Groups. Each of the 50 Teams thus formed had to complete a Course on the Property to collect a “Piece” of a Message from 5 Markers (similar to Orienteering Markers – there were 20 on the Site).

Upon their return, they had to completely reconstruct a Message and display it on Four Panels (see photos): 50 Expressions on the Theme of PEACE. Among these Phrases were some by Jean Marie de La Mennais and Fouad Hassoun. (See all of these quotes: >>>)

Fouad HASSOUN was the Day’s Witness. The Day concluded with his Testimony before the 400 Participants in the Church of Derval. The Young People present represented their Schools as “Ambassadors of Peace“…

While awaiting a more complete Account of the Day, the Lamennais.org website could not resist sharing the Photos, which in themselves testified to the Intensity of that Moment of the Mennaisian Network.
