Students of the Yekaterinburg Theological Seminary - Hierodeacon Alexander (Shlyanin) and Peter Parovatkin - took part in the IV Forum of Orthodox Youth “Meeting”, which was held on October 24–25, 2026 at the Moscow Theological Academy.

Together with the seminarians, the forum was attended by students from other universities in Yekaterinburg: the Ural State Law University named after V. F. Yakovlev, the Ural State Medical University, the Ural State University of Architecture and Art named after N. S. Alferov, the Ural Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

The forum began on October 24 with sightseeing tours of the Lavra and the Academy. Participants visited the ancient cathedrals and churches of the Lavra, the bell tower, the Bible study, icon-painting workshops, the Museum of Christian Art and academic audiences. Then an assembly of the student Christian movement took place, at which participants spoke about the life of their communities and discussed how a Christian club at a university could begin. This was followed by student sessions on “Organizing Events,” “Creating Video Content,” and “Project Management.”
