Series of events: Religion and society - divided or united?

Basic religious education plays an important role in the successful integration of migrants and refugees. It forms the basis for tolerance, mutual understanding and good coexistence. The series is aimed at interested parties, those involved in intercultural or interreligious work and migrants. The events consist of keynote speeches, encounters, discussions with the speakers and experience-oriented components. You will acquire a basic knowledge of different cultures, denominations, religions and world views and gain authentic insights into different ways of life. In this way, you will learn about the differences and similarities between secular and religious values and be able to relate them to each other.


In addition to attending the entire course with a 10% discount, you can also attend the individual courses (20H12410-20H12430).

This measure is co-financed with tax revenue on the basis of the budget approved by the members of the Saxon state parliament and the district of Görlitz.
