Pille Valk, Models of Religious Education in European countries.
The article presents an overview about RE in different European countries and aims to find useful models and experiences for developing the concept of RE for Estonian schools.
As a result of the analyses of current development trends in European RE one can point out the following consequences concerning RE in Estonia:
1. Looking at present-day Estonia and Europe, the presence of different religions and worldviews in these societies and schools makes denominational and religious pluralism an inescapable reality. It is a central challenge for the society and for RE. Since religious diversity exists, the need for a dialogue and an ability to understand one another is obvious. In the classroom there are the aims to create understanding of different denominations, religions and worldviews, as well as a constructive treatment of existing differences. In my opinion, a non-confessional RE provides better opportunities for achieving these aims in the Estonian context.
2. To improve the status of RE in Estonian schools it should become an ordinary part of National Curriculum. It means that RE must be a compulsory subject.
3. Relationships between the State and Churches in developing RE need more concrete regulation. Co-operation model seems to be the best way in this work.
4. The aims of RE can be seen in three-dimensional framework:
• developing and affirming cultural identity,
• providing knowledge about world religions in order to help understand the world, its culture and the role of the religious dimension in human life,
• supporting pupils’ moral development.
