In a diverse world, the absence of religious literacy can deepen divides and misinterpretations of values and worldviews, impacting how people of all ages engage with those from different backgrounds. It is crucial to include religious literacy in both formal education and life-long learning to help individuals of all ages understand the role of religion in promoting reconciliation, healing, and peaceful coexistence. This knowledge enhances critical thinking and empathy, equipping learners to approach global challenges with an informed and compassionate perspective.

This webinar aims to underscore the significance of integrating religious literacy across educational settings and life-long learning as a key contributor to promoting global citizenship, intercultural dialogue, and mutual understanding, fostering more peaceful and cohesive societies for all ages.

Highlighting how interreligious dialogue (IRD) organizations are advancing religious literacy across educational curricula and life-long learning, it will showcase innovative approaches and best practices, offering participants the opportunity to discuss challenges and strategies for integrating religious literacy into diverse learning environments.
