Religious education: fit for present and future? The role of Religion in the formation of young generations at the European Schools.

This event, organized by COMECE, the religious authorities in charge of Religion at the European Schools, and the Chapel for Europe, aims to foster a discussion on the role of Religious education today, in the special setting of the European schools.
