Three members of the Young Curatorium, Bram Schreurs, Caitríona Cunningham, and Gabriel Ewodo Evina Messomo, visited Olomouc, Czech Republic to attend the Dialogue and Reconciliation Conference hosted by the Faculty of Theology at Palacký University on 11–12 February 2026.

The visit provided a valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues, engage in fruitful discussions, and attend excellent presentations. It also strengthened existing relationships and fostered a warm, collaborative atmosphere within both the Young Curatorium and the wider ESCT community.

The team also enjoyed sightseeing, wonderful food, mass, and time spent with fellow academics. They were delighted to meet former Young Curatorium member Jens Van Rompaey, whose presence added a sense of continuity and encouragement.

During the Curatorium meeting, Caitríona gave an update on the Young Curatorium’s recent work and outlined the group’s plans for the next two years. The group also had a fruitful dialogue with PhD students from the Faculty of Theology, fostering networking among young scholars. The members left Olomouc feeling grateful, encouraged, and energized by the support and camaraderie of the ESCT community.
