26 representatives form YMCAs of England, Belarus, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Faroe Islands, Finland, Czech Republic, Switzerland, and Estonia participated in the Conference. The heads of the Ten Sing (TS) movements in their countries gathered in Ukraine to discuss the questions of the European TS movement development, outline the perspectives of its development, share the experience of the TS groups of their countries, and get to know about the newest tendencies in the TS groups of other countries.

Ukraine YMCA presented its new project – the National TS Team which unites 20 young people from 11 local YMCAs. Ivanna Gorbachuk who is the President of Volyn Region YMCA and initiator of the project gathered the youth for the third time already for them to rehearse and perform, and the performance was in English this time. The programme of the National Team consists of two parts. The first part is a forty-minute theatrical singing-dancing composition "ShakeSNIDiade" (in Ukrainian SNID stands for AIDS), and the second part is songs in Ukrainian and dances.

Ukrainian YMCA received positive feedback on the level of organization of the conference from many participants and the EAY.
