CHRISTIAN EDUCATION is a valuable component of any educational practice because it offers a proposal for a meaningful transformation of everyday life. It is the approach that turns work into creation, economy into a servant of human beings, education into true cultivation, and politics into service.

Within the framework of Christian education, a person is preserved as an individual, freed from moralism, fanaticism, and intolerance, and nurtures an open, critical, and universal spirit that originates from the society of love. In this work, we address Christian education both in terms of its character and as a daily practice based on the timeless values of the Gospel and the principles of modern psychological pedagogy and didactics.

Our main goal is to facilitate the work of every educator practicing Christian education, both at the level of compulsory education and within parish youth gatherings.
