Religious education: fit for present and future?

The role of Religion in the formation of young generations at the European Schools

In the context of the European Schools’ curriculum, we invite you to join us for the event, organised by COMECE, the religious authorities in charge of Relligion at the European Schools and the Chapel for Europe, where we will delve into the important role of Religious education in European schools.
