Dear brothers and sisters,
Following the successful completion of the DONE educational programme over the past
7 years, (2008 – present), we are happy to announce the eighth year of the DONE
programme, beginning in September 2015.
Development Of New Environments – DONE 015
The educational training programme DONE 015 is designed for 2nd Generation over 18
years old, who are interested in participating in spiritual training and education. The
education will focus on character development, strengthening life of faith, and
deepening relationships with God, True Parents and brothers and sisters. The
programme is open to those who have just graduated from high school as well as young
adults who wish to take time for their spiritual education, at a later stage in life.
DONE 015 is organized, guided and managed by the ESGD staff team:
Managing directors: Julius Alexy and Patrick Hanna
Educational director: Yebuny Hanna
Supporting staff: Sean Greaves, Grace B., Joyce Koetsier and Martin Alexy
DONE 015 is a training programme comprised of an educational period, fundraising
training periods, service projects and other educational and bonding experiences as
brothers and sisters.
The programme offers participants down-‐to-‐earth education and care in aspects of
building their relationship to God and furthering their understanding of life. Through
the varied schedule and opportunities, young 2nd generation are given the chance to
make their spiritual life and knowledge lasting and real, as well as creating strong bonds
of friendship and learning useful skills and wisdom for life.
We believe that 2nd generation need to have a healthy understanding of who they are,
seeing their potential and role in taking a lead to develop new environments wherever
they go and whatever they do. In line with this, DONE aims to provide participants with
the opportunity to strengthen their confidence and maturity so that they can believe
they can make a positive difference in this world.

Programme Structure
The DONE programme is made up of 3 modules, and follows the schedule of the
European academic year, this year beginning in September 2015 and ending in August
2016. On completion of each module, participants can then decide if they wish to sign up
for the next one, with the aim of putting the training they received into practice by
giving something back in follow-‐up modules.
The first module is designed specifically as training and education programme and all
participants considering DONE need to complete this core programme. The second
module is in the form of a follow up DONE MISSION ONE programme that offers the
chance for participants to put the training into practice and grow further by taking more
responsibility and leadership for themselves and others.
The final module is then an
opportunity to fully participate and help staff ESGD summer activities across Europe,
taking an active role in educating and caring for younger blessed children.
Participants can therefore see this as a full-‐year programme with a valuable break in
between each of the three modules. We fully understand, however, that for some
participants a full-‐year commitment is not possible and that the initial 3 months of
DONE (Module 1) is a great catalyst for moving on to personal plans for the remainder
of the year, or before returning to work or education.
