Religion / Ethics

Berlin is a melting pot of religions. Churches, synagogues and mosques open their doors to school classes. Historical aspects, such as the persecution and murder of the Jews are conveyed to the pupils at important historical locations. Religious instruction in a far different world to the school bench, between the Koran, the Bible and the Tanach, is provided by new perspectives on the world’s religions.
