Where we are~ Our center, "De Vierslag"

Circuit Riders are artists, traveling (Flying) English teachers, youth leaders, or teams of young people who visit schools and youth groups to inspire students about the need for breaking down walls and building bridges; and to provide practical training and encouragement for  local Bridgebuilders. 

 

Welcome

Atlantic Bridge stands for building bridges and breaking down walls between youth from different cultural, denominational and ethnic backgrounds. We're Dutch-based, but global in orientation with a vision to mobilize youth from around the world to participate in bridgebuilding!

With Europe as a primary target, Atlantic Bridge wants to mobilize and train young people, encouraging them to become agents of change - to learn to break down walls of prejudice, ignorance and indifference and to build bridges of friendship and faith.

As you discover the heart of this mission, I hope you will be inspired to get involved!
