SWAP
SWAP is an international conference on various continents that promotes discussion of the three Pais distinctives. Our hope is to bring communities together to collaborate on new, fresh and insightful ideas.
SWAP covers three days, all of which start with a keynote presentation. Each day is then followed by three sessions that include a twenty minute presentation of a new idea, and forty minutes of creative collaboration. These nine ideas are themed together so that day one is based around the pais mission distinctive, day two discipleship, and day three study. Fringe seminars: At some venues there will be fringe seminars on specific subjects. For instance, at some of the SWAP’s based around the element of ‘Education’ there may be a series on schools work. As time goes on we are hoping to record more and more of these ideas on video and upload them to our resource website for free viewing.
Elements
Outline
The outline of each of the 3 days promotes healthy collaboration around relevant ideas. We do not want to bombard people with information but instead, allow space for the ideas to take root and breathe in our hearts and minds. Based around the days agenda there are also all manner of opportunities to be entertained, relaxed and meet new people.
With this in mind, the outline of each day follows the same format. Within this format there are four 1-hour sessions, comprising of a 20-minute presentation and a 40-minute collaboration. The presentations are visual, thought-provoking, and story-based. The collaborations are creative, participatory, and have an emphasis on a community of like-minded people pulling apart the idea and reformatting it to fit their different situations.
