It was a time of mutual sharing and reflection on the progress achieved and the challenges faced in the work of the networking among the youth and student organizations at the local and national levels. It was also a time to reflect on the relations between the regional network of EASY Net and her national partners. Meeting in times of un-peace and war, the meeting took this time together to reflect on the situations of conflicts in the world and in Asia and reflect on the role that young Christians and the EASY Net can play in addressing such issues. The meeting also took the opportunity to spend time in discussing and planning, in broad terms, the theme or issue/s which the ASYG 2004 should address. A basic outline with the theme was finalized by the National Coordinators, which was then picked up by the Core Team [CT] in its deliberations after the meeting concluded.
