After months of discussions, planning and preparation, the first Winter School, a partnership between PIASS, the University of Geneva, Switzerland and the Université Libre des Pays des Grands Lacs [ULPGL],
Goma and Bukavu DRC, took place from 24 January to 2 March 2016 at the PIASS campus in Huye. Around 60 people participated, including Bachelors, Masters and PhD students, faculty and staff. A long-held vision of PIASS’ former Vice Chancellor, Benoit Girardin and current Vice Chancellor Elisée Musemakweli, the collaboration between theology departments from the three universities was truly a "dream come true" as stated by the Vice Chancellor, Musemakweli at the closing ceremony.
