EASTERN ORTHODOX EDUCATION.
Veliko Turnovo (Northern Bulgaria), May 15 (BTA) - Theologians of Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and Serbia are discussing the state and prospects of Eastern Orthodox education in the Balkan countries.
The forum was organized by the Balkan Orthodox Youth Association, the Eastern Orthodox Theological Department of the Sts Cyril and Methodius University in Veliko Turnovo and the Mitropolitanate of Veliko Turnovo.
Innovations in pedagogy which can be applied in teaching religion such as role and didactic games and dramatizations, and freedom and restrictions to the creativity of teachers in Eastern Orthodoxy are in the focus of the discussions.
Participants in the forum will visit and discuss religion classes in schools in Veliko Turnovo.
Religion classes should be compulsory from the first to the eighth grade so as to exercise control over the spread of nonconventional religions and different Christian and Islamic sects, according to the theologians of the Veliko Turnovo University.
Their studies show that children from the fifth to the eighth grade prefer religion to be taught from a cultural, historical and philosophical point of view. They are also interested in the history of the different religious communities.
