Public Lecture: A child will lead us

Since fall 2023, researchers from all over the world have come together in Zoom conferences to reflect on the role of children as participants in theological reflection and research. One of the central themes that has emerged in the five Zoom sessions is the topic of “diaspora” and the question of the role of spirituality, resilience and religious traditions in crisis situations in children's lives. The project is part of TRA4 (Individuals, Institutions and Societies) and is organized by the Chair of Religious Education. From 28 to 30 April 2025, an Expert Seminar will be organized for the participants of the project at the Impulse Villa of the University of Bonn (Adenauerallee, 131). On the first evening, April 28, at 8 pm in Rabinstraße (seminar room 1), a public lecture will be held by Prof. Shantelle Weber (Stellenbosch University in South Africa) entitled “A Child will lead us: Exploring childhood and theological education through simplicity and play”.
