Religioni, dialogo e cittadinanza in Europa : Storia, princìpi, dichiarazioni e pratiche (1989-2022)

Abstract

Over the course of history, religious actors have experienced moments of presence and absence in the public space, and have assumed roles as persecutors and persecuted. Today, they play a crucial role in promoting dialogue between different faiths and in the development of the interreligious competences needed to live in a plural society. This research reconstructs the historical phases of interreligious dialogue and examines the European guidelines that encourage the integration of religious diversities in citizenship education. Furthermore, the volume analyses the statements of the Catholic Church and Islamic institutions on interreligious dialogue, as well as the educational practices for pluralism promoted by religious actors in Italy, Spain and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
