  • This is the main workshop offered by BFD EUME in preparation for the Matching and also a requirement to attend the Blessing.

    The theme of the Workshop is Love, Life, Lineage. It offers a deeper understanding about the Blessing and helps candidates and parents to prepare for the Matching.

    The workshop is divided in 2 parts: Part 1 is usually held on the regional EUME or sub-regional level, and Part 2 on the national or sub-regional Level.

    Candidates need to attend both Part 1 and 2 in order to complete the workshop and receive a Certificate of Completion.

    BFD EUME runs this workshop twice a year, usually once in person and once online.
