Although Religious Education may be more focused on a specific religion, it does not aim to indoctrinate students or convert them to the context. It is, in other words, a discipline that seeks to develop students’ reflection on the teachings and values of most religions.

From there, debates are held on these topics and their importance. After all, the values of a religion are universal and are contained in very important documents, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

What is this project based on?

Religious Education aims to promote reflection in students on characteristics and attitudes that are, on a global basis, guided by ethics. Some of the Christian values that are discussed during classes include:

Respect;
Love;
Patience;
Altruism;
Solidarity;
Forgiveness;
Honesty;
Justice.
In addition to teaching about the dogmas of different religions, their values and customs, promoting student reflection on their role in the world and how they relate to others. This way, we can possibly build generations that are fairer, more egalitarian and free from prejudice and selfishness.
