Eugen Maftei is a diocesan counsellor at the Education and Youth Activities Sector of the Archdiocese of Bucharest. Photo: Basilica.ro \/ Mircea Florescu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Archdeacon Maftei explained that this year&#8217;s theme responds to the contemporary challenges facing young people and the Christian family in a society marked by individualism, changing understandings of relationships and the search for life&#8217;s meaning.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Romanian Orthodox Church, like a loving mother, understands that young people need guidance, attentive listening, respect and encouragement. In this spirit, ITO 2026 will provide an ideal setting for open dialogue, mutual understanding and the shared joy of encountering the living Christ.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the organisers, this year&#8217;s edition will also address issues particularly relevant to the current generation, including technological hyper-connectivity, the lack of inspiring role models, pressures on family life and the search for meaning, offering young people a space for reflection and dialogue in the light of the Gospel.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cITO 2026 seeks to become a blessed space where these questions may be asked sincerely and where answers may be sought together in the light of Christ. It will provide an environment for genuine dialogue, in which the experience of the Church\u2014embodied in the lives of the saints\u2014meets the questions, struggles and aspirations of today&#8217;s young people,\u201d Archdeacon Maftei said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Sharing Experience Among Youth Leaders<\/h2>\n<p>Particular emphasis will be placed on the formation of those already engaged in youth ministry. This year&#8217;s meeting has been designed as a forum for encounter and the exchange of experience among coordinators of youth activities from dioceses in Romania and across the Romanian Orthodox diaspora.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe aim is, on the one hand, to gain a deeper understanding of how young people relate to life, the Church and the challenges of today&#8217;s world and, on the other, to strengthen participants in their mission as youth leaders.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe event will also help to develop the existing networks of communication and cooperation among young people involved in Church activities, making it easier for communities to share experiences and good practice,\u201d the diocesan adviser added.<\/p>\n<p>The International Orthodox Youth Meeting is the Romanian Orthodox Church&#8217;s largest annual event dedicated to young people. Organised since 2014, it is hosted in rotation by one of the Church&#8217;s university diocesan centres. Following previous editions in Baia Mare, Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest, Ia\u0219i, Sibiu, Craiova and Timi\u0219oara, the 2026 meeting returns to the Romanian capital.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Basilica.ro Files<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BasilicaNews\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-495171\" src=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-889x148.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"889\" height=\"148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-889x148.gif 889w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-1024x171.gif 1024w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-1536x256.gif 1536w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-2048x341.gif 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 440px, (max-width: 768px) 354px, 890px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 2,400 young people from Romania and abroad are expected to take part in this year&#8217;s International Orthodox Youth Meeting (ITO), which will be held in Bucharest from 31 August to 3 September.
