New Digital Academy 2026/27
The tried-and-tested format of the digital academy is set to return in the coming winter semester. Once again, we have been able to secure the participation of expert academics who will present a range of interdisciplinary perspectives on the overarching theme “I believe, that’s how I am – The shaping of European identity between religious tradition and choice” in seven interactive lectures.
As before: The Digital Academy is open for everybody who wants to learn more about Protestantism and denominational culture and who wants to discuss perspectives of Protestantism in Europe. The Forum Young Theology in Europe is aimed especially at young theologians e.g., ministers, deacons, religious teachers, students of theology near their exam or in the qualification phase and pastors in training. In addition, anyone interested is invited to join us and take part in the discussion
A second part will follow in the summer semester of 2027.
Digital Academy 2022/23
Protestantism and Participation is the topic of the second part of the Forum Young Theology in Europe. It will start with a Digital Academy on 3 November 2022 with seven lectures every two weeks from 6 to 8 pm, followed by a conference in presence from 12-15 April 2023 in Sibiu, Romania. There the findings of the lectures will be deepened and specific output for the practice in school, parish, and civil society debates will be developed.

The Forum Young Theology in Europe is aimed especially at young theologians e.g., ministers, deacons, religious teachers, students of theology near their exam or in the qualification phase and pastors in training. The preferred language is English and if papers are given in another language the presenters are asked to prepare an English summary.
Participants who register by 15 October 2022 and take part in all lectures will receive a certificate. Participation in the Digital Academy is not a prerequisite for attending the conference in Sibiu, but it is of course helpful.
