Religious Traditions and Models of Citizenship Education: The Legacy of a Normative Universe (Politique et Sociétés; vol. 34, no. 2)

This article analyzes the significant links between the citizenship education curricula of France, England and Quebec, as well as their respective religious traditions, which all stem from the central and common core of belonging that is christianity. More precisely, starting from the postulate according to which the religious fact, as a socio-cultural heritage, permeates in a deep and lasting way contemporary societies, the authors show that the values ​​and the ideals resulting from the various religious paths are transposed more or less singularly through the normative and pedagogical universe of French, English and Quebec citizenship education programs.
