As part of this year’s camp, we’re hosting the hackathon CODE - PRAY - JOY. This will be an exciting competition focusing on Christian IT projects. You have the opportunity to participate with your team or join forces with new teammates. Choose an idea from our proposed list or come up with one of your own. The winning teams will receive exciting prizes while all participants will gain valuable knowledge and hands-on experience in launching startups, receive feedback from mentors, and leave feeling inspired after an enriching weekend. Don’t miss out!
Join us for an exciting weekend in Navahrudak, the first capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. We’ll be staying near Navahrudak castle, where Adam Mickiewicz, a renowned Belarusian poet, once studied. It’s within these historic walls that we’ll come together to generate innovative ideas.

WHEN AND WHERE
We’re looking for IT specialists and clergymen brimming with creative ideas and a strong desire to make an impact.
If you’re an IT specialist with a passion for technology and a heart devoted to God, this is your invitation!
Idea -> Design -> Development -> Launch and promotion
WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE
Whether it’s developing a chatbot, website, application or CRM – there are no limits to your ideas. The ultimate goal? A new evangelization that utilizes technology to solve problems, introduce new solutions or optimize processes.
Projects theme
- Pope Benedict XVIThe new evangelization is not about delivering a new message. Instead, it is about returning to our “first love” to rediscover the joy of the presence and closeness of God’s love in our lives.
