Reformation- Education- Transformation.. Halle, Germany 2016
In the East side of Germany, in the city of Halle (Saale), more than 100 participants from all around the world and from different Protestant churches gathered together to reflect on Reformation and Education, and how Protestant churches can be effective to transform societies. This is the second global conference of "Twin Consultation" that started in São Leopoldo in Brazil last November 2015 in preparation for the Reformation Jubilee in 2017. This project aims at reflecting upon Reformation and demonstrating its impact on our societies nowadays, particularly on the realm of education.
