Università Roma Tre

The course reflects on conflicts of religious and ethno-religious incidence in Europe, starting from the analysis of the normative sources of the European institutions (Council of Europe and European Union) and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice.
Specifically, the course will focus on conflicts concerning religious behaviour protected by European legal systems and the limitations that legal systems may place on religious freedom. In particular, it will reflect on the safeguarding of religious pluralism; on the relationship between secularism and religious symbolism; on conflicts related to freedom of expression and religious criticism; on the educational freedom of parents and students and on national systems of religious instruction; and on the articulation of religious freedom in family and work relations.

Participants will be provided with doctrinal texts, analyzed sentences and bibliographical insights, also through the E-learning portal.
