EFTRE is a non-profit organisation which seeks to promote the development of the teaching of Religious Education in countries across Europe. It follows the Toledo principles on the teaching of Religious Education but recognises that different countries follow different patterns. It runs a conference, workshops and develops publications on teaching and learning in Religious Education. We welcome institutions with a direct interest in the teaching of Religious Education at school level from ages 4 to 19 and with those who support the teachers across these phases.
