At a time when educational issues have increasingly come to determine the social and political discourse and major reforms of the education system are being discussed and implemented, and when migration has become a significant phenomenon, contributing to changes in the religious landscape of the European continent, it is highly appropriate to focus the attention on the concrete situation regarding religious education. This volume contains – again on the basis of thirteen key questions – the countries of Eastern Europe (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation and Ukraine). The aim of the series "Religious Education at Schools in Europe" is to create a foundation for further action in the field of education, especially with regard to interfaith expertise.
