Stromata e.V. · workshop for research and dialogue
We create educational, cultural and documentary projects in which faith, reason and human experience help us reflect on reality.
Stromata e.V. is currently developing several areas of work in which interviews, articles, documentary materials and project structures are taking shape. These projects show how the idea of the association gradually becomes open educational and cultural work.
In Development
A research-oriented project on modern evolutionary theory, the Christian understanding of the human person and the dialogue between science, philosophy and theology.
In Production
A documentary project about a journey to Mount Athos as a space of prayer, memory, tradition and inner path. The material has already been filmed, and publications are being prepared.
open to proposals
Stromata is open to proposals for courses, interviews, lectures, educational initiatives, expert participation and documentary projects.
We gradually publish articles, interviews and research materials connected with Stromata projects. They are created for open access, learning, attentive reading and further conversation.

We define the subject, the boundaries of the conversation and the public or educational purpose the material should serve.
