“1st International Conference on Congregational Education in the 21st Century”: This was the title of the first international conference of this kind, held in Joensuu in eastern Finland from 29 September to 1 October 2025. The third study on confirmation work, by far the largest international study in the field of Congregational Education in recent years, was presented in numerous lectures.
After this successful start, further conferences will hopefully follow in the coming years.
