The confessional - cooperative teaching Religion model in the perspective of intercultural education in Romania

Summary/Abstract: One of the strongest arguments in favor of (re)introducing Religion as a subject of education in Romania, after a period of almost half a century of absence from curricula, it’s considering its role in shaping European culture, but also in harmonizing relations between peers of different religions, faiths, races, ethnicities, from the values they promote. The relationship between religious education and intercultural education becomes evident. More than in other subjects, in Religion case, tolerance, respect for others may become support but also object of its aims, everything bearing the seal of Love. This study wants to be a path from recognizing or not the integrative role of religion and how the cooperative- confessional teaching religion model promotes or not intercultural education. The answer is as simple to set as it is difficult to accomplish: when students acquire the attributes of a small religious community class, we can speak, at this level, of the possibility of opening students to interculturalism.
