Lifelong Learning

Theological-Catechetical Lifelong Learning Program for Educators in Faith (Early and Preschool Education)

The goal of the Theological-Catechetical Lifelong Learning Program for Educators in Faith is to ensure holistic preschool education that includes nurturing and developing the child’s religious dimension, enabling the child, in an age-appropriate way, to discover, embrace, and live the authentic values of the Gospel in relation to oneself, to others, and, in a special way, to God.

The Theological-Catechetical Lifelong Learning Program for Educators in Faith is intended for individuals who hold a qualification in the field of early and preschool education and/or are employed as professional associates in preschool education institutions (educators, speech therapists, special education teachers, psychologists, and other professional associates).

The program is also open to catechists (graduates in theology and catechetics, i.e., university master’s degrees in theology or catechetics) in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 4 of the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the Croatian Bishops’ Conference on Catholic Religious Education in Public Schools and Religious Education in Public Preschool Institutions.
