Theme of the IBP 2026 Camps:
The Bible and the Internet for Everyone
We live in a world addicted to screens, where everything boils down to 18-second videos and "us versus them" divisions. We all breathe this digital environment daily. How can we help our campers? to find balance, truth e critical thinking Without escaping reality?
At this year's camps Bn.pt = A BBible and the Net para TWe're not just going to talk about technology or religion in a theoretical way. We're all going to live a three-dimensional experience.
The 3 Dimensions in Action:
📱 1. THE NET SPEAKS (We Translate Technology)
The Challenge: Let's demystify the world of Computing, Networks, and Artificial Intelligence. ALL campers will understand how algorithms work and how they are designed to capture attention.
🌿 2. NATURE SPEAKS (We Translate the Real Rhythm)
The Antidote: Nature will be our physical laboratory and detoxification space. Faced with digital immediacy, we will ALL walk on the earth, listen to the silence, and relearn the slow and complex rhythm of Creation.
📖 3. THE BIBLE SPEAKS (We Translate with Wisdom)
The Key: Far from magical or superstitious readings, ALL campers will use the Bible as a living library of resistance and critical literacy. It will be the key to deciphering the dangers of the Net and restoring the connection with others, with nature, and with God.
