Mihaela Kovacs reporting from Romania




Sighisoara, Romania, November 25-27, 2016, Hotel Central Park was the place of the third edition of Economic Diplomacy and Integrity Seminar in Transylvania, Romania. The Theme for this year was "Involvement Brings Transformation". We where honored to have 50 professionals coming together from different backgrounds including politics, social engagements, education, health system and pastoral care. Our speakers Tudosie Liviu, Dan Nichita, Bogdan Burghelea, Adrian Moldovan, and Lars Rise challenged and inspired the participants with their presentations. Some of the themes included discussions on the reality of Romanian politics, the perspectives of Jesus followers,  and Jesus’ principals in politics.  During those 2 days we had the opportunity to share our experiences in small groups. The highlight of the event where the interviews shared by various participants involved in practical community building activities and projects.
