About the FAITHED-project

The FAITHED project (Non-formal faith education, the public school, and religious minorities in Norway) studies children and youth with a religious minority background in Norway. It will explore their relationship to faith education within their own religious communities and the inclusive and non-confessional religious education of public schools. The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway.
