“Communication and Reconfiguration in Faith, Media, Society and Economy” 

The Assembly and Seminar are important events for networking as church and religious communicators. The seminar itself is organized in cooperation with the Press Officers Network of European Churches (PONEC). The discussions will help participants assess the changes affecting their own communication efforts internally and externally. In addition to this networking and dialogue, the seminar will begin drafting a document that will accompany the road that the World Council of Churches and Conference of European Churches are walking towards their assemblies in 2013.

Keynote speakers:

Rev. Karin Achtelstetter, General Secretary, World Association for Christian Communication
