EDUC8 is an EU-funded project conceptualised to build resilience against radicalisation and polarisation through religious education. The project offers a real pedagogical approach to learn the basics of your own (‘deep modules’)and other faiths (‘shallow modules’), and to learn how religions can prevent radicalisation and polarisation in societies.
Shallow Module Courses
In the shallow modules, we look into different faiths / philosophies from an inner perspective. So, we want to give you the taste of living in that faith / philosophy to get you better understand “them”.

Deep Module Courses
In deep module, we answer some of the most relevant questions of our days from the perspective of your own faith / philosophy. We will in general terms tackle four of those questions to help you better conceptualize current problems based on a story that you could encounter in your everyday life.
