Submission Guidelines
We invite scholars and practitioners engaged in congregational education, including areas such as confirmation, pastoral care, public theology, and other forms of church-focused education, to submit their research, case studies, and conceptual papers. All kinds of papers are warmly welcomed, ranging from already published research to works in progress. There is a possibility to present a paper or prepare a poster.

The abstracts should be 300-600 words. Please follow this guideline when preparing your submission. You can either download the guideline file and edit it or create your own document with a similar structure and details. Submit the file in Word format (.docx). If your submission is a poster, please indicate this as well.

We aim for a high-quality peer-reviewed publication based on selected presentations of the conference. Please indicate your interest when submitting.

Please submit your abstract to icce21@uef.fi within the submission window.
