1. Introduction – A Call for Designs

​

Calling all designers! The International Dominican Youth Movement Commission invites entrants to a competition to select a logo design that will be used for the IDYM Meeting and Assembly in Kenya 2020.

IDYM in Kenya 2020 – Nairobi, 15-20 July 2020

​

Theme: Yohana 1:39 - “Njoo Uone” (John 1:39 - Come and See)

 

Theme Explanation: Njoo Uone is a very signifying verse from the Gospel of John, chapter 1, about John’s disciples following Jesus.  (Jn 1, 35-39)

 

​

We find this passage of John’s Gospel in what is called the Book of signs. Here we hear about Jesus’ public life and his signs (or miracles).  This text is a vocational text: disciples begin their search, and Jesus begins their interpellation. The text speaks about two disciples, one of them will be identified (in the next verses) as Andrew, and the second one could be each of us.

​

In this context, it is normal that we (disciples) ask about Jesus, where he lives, what he does… questions that even us, today, ask about Him. This will lead us to ask and understand about him mission among us.

 

It is in this context, inspired by Come and you will see, that this International Meeting has been planned: in relation to our objective of knowing our Mission. But, what mission? The one we have as Christians, as Dominicans, as Dominican Youth.

​

It is an open invitation to all IDYM members to come and join as we see and contemplate together about our mission. How we, as part of a big family, are called to be active part of our Movement, our Dominican Family and our Catholic Church worldwide. Come and you will see what our mission is calling us to, how we can be fruitful part of an active International Dominican Youth Movement, and how we are  called to make a difference in our own local groups.

​

Njoo Uone is written in Swahili, one of the major languages spoken in Kenya, our host country. Having the name of the meeting and assembly in Swahili wants to be a linking point between our event and the local culture.
