In a Europe where the gap between church and society is widening, we need to listen to our generation’s questions before we answer with the Gospel.

MediaFest 2026 in Prague offers a unique space to learn, create, and connect – combining professional training with artistic experiences, dialogue, and fellowship.

"At MediaFest 2026 we will focus on the challenges of sharing the Christian message in our European post-Christian society."
