The PROMi-Treff offers students who are interested in a doctorate in theology the opportunity to obtain information about the doctorate and to ask questions. A particular focus is on the topic of 'doctoral funding'. The event also serves as a networking and exchange opportunity. The event will take place in cooperation with the Vice Dean for Internationalisation, Research and Academic Recruitment, the Network Office Theology and Career and our Association.

On 06.06.2023, some seminarians from St. Victor's Seminary in Tamale, Ghana visited the Faculty of Catholic Theology as part of their exchange with the Catholic University and Student Community (KSHG). The day started with a coffee together and an exchange with members of the faculty, among them Ini Dorcas Dah, currently Humboldt Fellow at the faculty. Ini Dorcas Dah comes from Burkina Faso and has lived and worked in Ghana. She reported on her path to Münster and her research on "Gender and Holistic Mission: A Christian Response to the Lobi/Birifor Marriage for an Effective Transformational Development in West Africa (Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana)".

Afterwards, Cathedral Provost Hans-Bernd Köppen led the group through St Paul's Cathedral and up the 240 steps up the steeple of the Lamberti Church. There, the group enjoyed the view over Münster in glorious weather, while learning a little bit about Münster’s interesting religious history.

After the strenuous climb, the group continued to the Borromäum Seminary for lunch. At lunch, followed by a spontaneous coffee in the garden of the Borromäum, there was further opportunity for exchange with the residents of the Borromäum as well as with the Rector Hartmut Niehues and the Study Officer Ruth Kubina. There was lots of laughter and big smiles all around as German and Ghanaian participants compared cultural and environmental differences, but everyone agreed that Münster’s extensive green space is really something special!

Since 2006, mutual visits of student and lecturer groups with the KSHG have been carried out regularly in this proven cooperation. Student interest in the multicultural and theological exchange is high at both locations. After the Covid 19 pandemic, the exchange is now to be revived.
