The youth conference is the part of the series of three events organized by the European Society for Catholic Theology (ESCT) around the topic of Europe. The series starts in September 2022, when Students from Central Europe will meet at Europe (Re)Discovered, the 7th International PPHF Summer School; and it will conclude in August 2023 at the biennial ESCT Congress on EUROPE: Spiritual Resources for the Future in Pécs.

The youth conference is organized by ESCT and the Episcopal Theological College of Pécs in cooperation with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Veszprém and the Archepiscopal College of Veszprém.

The main goal of the conference is to bring young theologians together in Veszprém from different countries of Europe and to conceive new visions concerning the future of the continent.

“There can be no doubt that the Christian faith belongs, in a radical and decisive way, to the foundations of European culture.„

Pope John Paul II

„Europe, find yourself! Rediscover your most deeply-rooted ideals. Be yourself! Do not be afraid of your millenary history, which is a window open to the future more than the past.„

Pope Francis

„Christians today have a great responsibility: they are called to serve as a leaven in reviving Europe’s conscience and help to generate processes capable of awakening new energies in society.„

Pope Francis

“By valuing its Christian roots, Europe will be able to give a secure direction to the choices of its citizens and peoples, it will strengthen their awareness of belonging to a common civilization and it will nourish the commitment of all to address the challenges of the present for the sake of a better future.„

Pope Benedict XVI
