About GETI 2022

The online phase will be from 25 July to 20 August 2022 and participants will work in small study groups guided by two facilitators each. The study groups formed during this phase will continue during the residential phase for participatory learning. The residential phase will take place at the BWGV Akademiehotel in Karlsruhe, Germany, 28 August-8 September 2022 in the context of the WCC 11th Assembly. Students admitted to the Bossey Ecumenical Institute for the academic year 2022-23 will automatically join the programme.

The theme “Christ’s Love (Re)moves Borders” is derived from the WCC 11th Assembly theme  under six thematic  tracks, namely, 1) Healing Memories (Historic-Theological Track); 2) Kairos for Creation (Eco-theological Track); 3) Witness from the Margins (Practical-Diaconal Track); 4) Engaging with Plurality (Intercultural-Interreligious Track); 5) Body Politics: Body, Health and Healing (Just Relations Track); 6) 4th Industrial Revolution & AI: Human Identity in the Context of Global Digitisation (special plenary).

The culmination of the programme will be a public lecture entitled GETI Goes Public! on 7 September 2022, to which an additional 100 guests from academic institutions in Germany will be invited.
