The Eastern European Institute of Theology holds the Summer School of Theology 2024 \"Living in the Body: Disability as an Opportunity for Welcoming the Other.\" The School will take place from July 29 to August 3 (online\/on Zoom).<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to statistics of United Nations<\/a> approximately 15% of the world's population, or about 1 billion people, live with disabilities. Despite significant shifts in the way we view disability that have occurred over the past thirty years in history, politics, and the social sciences, in many societies, people with disabilities continue to be charity cases with limited access to education and work. Ukraine is no exception. In the Ukrainian context, however, the situation is complicated by the Russia-Ukraine War: in the last two years of the full-scale war, more than 20,000 men and women suffered at least one amputation. The suffering of people with disabilities is exacerbated by the country's low economic standard of living and limited medical system. In addition, various communities, including Christian ones, overlook people with disabilities due to a variety of prejudices.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing that most theological institutions and religious communities do not pay due attention to disability issues, the Eastern European Institute of Theology is organizing a Summer School on the Theology of Disability. For this purpose, the Institute has gathered the best experts from various Christian traditions \u2014 theologians, philosophers, and psychologists.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
