Religious education

UCSIA has a focus on the place of religious education in Flanders. A regular feature of the UCSIA programme is the annual seminar for teachers of Roman Catholic religion in secondary education. Every other year, an inter-religious workshop is on the agenda as well. During these workshops, we invite teachers of Islam education and teachers of Roman Catholic religion to enter into a dialogue with each other.

Religious education

We kick off the programme with talks by academic experts and experts by experience. In the second part, teachers work in groups. The conferences are the ideal time to network with colleagues and exchange experiences.

We choose a relevant topic each time. Sometimes we focus on practical questions such as the new curricula or the policy on philosophical education. In other editions, we address more philosophical, subject-related and didactic themes.

UCSIA organises these study days in collaboration with the inspector advisers Roman Catholic religion and Islamic religion.
