Session LEAD 2024

12 September 2024

Queen Mathilde visited Session LEAD 2024, a 5-day catholic conference for young people between the ages of 20 and 30. This was its 10th edition.

The students & young professionals attend lectures by politicians, CEOs or inspirational persons from another field, they take part in workshops on humane and spiritual topics and they attend mass. 

Mathilde visited during one of the five days, at their location, the former abby of Corsendonk in Oud-Turnhout.

This visit was only announced a day after the visit and no photos were released. Catholic church has had a lot of bad rep these past years because of child abuse by members of the church. Mathilde is a devout practicing catholic, but has always kept this part of her life completely private.
