You are all warmly invited to join the Youth Section at its annual research colloquium. Our project (Re)Search is in its third year running and since its inception in 2017, it has grown in depth and diversity. Two examples of this expansion are the new branches of study (Re)Search in Times of COVID-19 and (Re)Search in Latin America.
At the upcoming colloquium, the researchers involved in the social study on the spiritual striving of youth will share insights and observations related to youth research in our times. We will be joined by young participants from around the world who will also share their personal experiences connected to the research activities. The event is open to people of all ages and backgrounds who have an interest in youth, our questions and endeavours. In the link below you will find a schedule for the day.
To register, please send us an email at mail@youthsection.org, stating whether you will participate on site or online. We hope to see you there!
Andrea de la Cruz, Ioana Viscrianu, Johannes Kronenberg, Ronja Eis, Till Höffner, Tim Bauer and Vincent Eichholz with Constanza Kaliks.
RELATING IN TIMES OF COVID-19 Latest reflections from the (Re)Search in Times of COVID-19 process
“I think COVID is really showing us that it’s not about the world, it is about how we deal with our own fears, our demons. It’s about us.” (Germany, 27)
After journeying through big questions of humanity such as “what is the purpose of life”, “what makes a human being human”, or “where has humanity gone?”, we have begun in our (Re)Search in Times of COVID-19 process, to delve into the subtle and wondrous connection between human beings and the world we find ourselves in.
Placing the concept of relationship at the centre of our investigations, seemed to be of utmost importance to the (Re)Search group at these strange and unusual times, since relating to one another has moved from being a “thoughtless” reality – in the sense that one simply entered relationship naturally, without putting much thought to it – to becoming an existential inquiry. Many people today encounter confusion, frustration and even fear, when thinking about relating to another in times of COVID-19. Many others long more than ever to touch, to embrace, to gather in the same space with others.
