Welcome to Education About Religions and Beliefs

Why are we doing this site? Participants at the UNAOC January 2008 Madrid Forum expressed the strong desire that the next UNAOC clearinghouse should be a clearinghouse on “Education about Religions and Beliefs” (ERB). Education about different religions and beliefs, and critically thinking about the nature of beliefs, enables populations to deal sensitively and tolerantly with the reality of today's globalized multicultural world where one will encounter people who believe in many different religions, or people who may not believe in any religion at all.

This site focuses on primary and secondary education about religions and beliefs – as a starting point. Material on civic education, tolerance education, ethics education, and other forms of education aimed at enabling us to learn to live together will also be featured.

This clearinghouse is meant to be useful to policy-makers, educators, and researchers in these fields.  More details on this site are available in the section on Overview of Education about Religions and Beliefs as well as the FAQ Section.

Please see Join Our Community to engage actively with this clearinghouse.

Cátedra al-Andalus/Magreb
Cátedra al-Andalus/Magreb
La Cátedra al-Andalus/Magreb surge a partir de un acuerdo de colaboración establecido entre la Facultad de Artes Liberales e la Universidad Adolfo Ibañez y el Centro Mohammed VI para el diálogo de Civilizaciones. Su interés fundamental radica en el estudio de la herencia histórica de la Península Ibérica y el norte de África, a partir de sus múltiples manifestaciones culturales, políticas y sociales, las cuales hunden sus raíces en los denominados siglos medievales y se proyectan hasta la actualidad. Por otra parte, la cátedra fija sus intereses en el estudio y difusión del diálogo intercultural, apoyando la actividad realizada por el Centro Mohammed VI para el díalogo de Civilizaciones.
