IASYM European Regional Conference
Prague, 23. - 26. April 2025

"Finding Resilience and Faith in Fractures Developments"

How do we understand fractured development, fragility and resiliencein relation to the understanding of youth, youth ministry and faith?

The next European regional conference will be held in the beautiful city of Prague on April 23th - 26th, 2025.

Whereas reflections within Youth Ministry frequently assume 'normal/healthy development' of young people and more or less intact places of youth ministry practices, it is actually more accurate to reflect from a perspective of 'fragile/fractured development' of humanity and in our focus, children and youth in particular. We might think of the fractured contexts surrounding the developmental course of children and young people themselves: through war, through social exclusion, through broken families, or problems in terms of well-being and mental health. We might also think of fractured development on the level of societies, and churches in those societies: what might theology/youth ministry sources add to finding new ways of resilience and faith in a variety of societal challenges that at the core can be understood as meaning making challenge? Fractured developments can also be envisioned for youth growing up living simultaneously in offline and online worlds, recently co-shaped by various AI applications.
