We are offering 9 students the opportunity to participate in an Erasmus+ study trip to Rome from February 20–28!
The host is the Italian Evangelical Bible Institute (IBEI), which has put together a special one-week study program.
During the study trip to Rome, we will explore the city’s historical landscape and analyze, interpret, and reflect on information, architecture, and culture through a theological lens.
The study trip offers an opportunity to see how the interplay of theological ideas, church structures, cultural transformations, political forces, and social tensions has shaped Christian life in Italy throughout history.
The program lasts 9 days: February 20–28.
Information will be provided in English on site; the seminary will provide translation into Estonian!
Accommodations will be in the IBEI dormitory, located about a 20-minute metro ride from central Rome.
Each day begins with breakfast and prayer together with IBEI students and faculty (except on Saturdays and Sundays). This is followed by city tours and lectures.
Lunch is provided as a packed meal to be eaten in the city; for dinner, participants either return to IBEI or stay out in the city.
