Since we are Religion teachers our task is to show a wider view of religiosity and religions in general, and particularly of Christianity with a special emphasis in Catholicism. We teach in a rigorous, open and critic way, so that the students do not remain religion-ignorant, culturally speaking. We try to make them able to have their own opinions about their beliefs and practices or about the beliefs and practices of other collectives or other cultures, and to make them able to have reasonable opinions.
L’Associació de Professorat de Religió de Catalunya (The Catalan Association of Religion Teachers) is a non-profit-making association. It tries to give professional and legal advice to their members.
The APRC was founded in 1994, as a result of the concern of some religion teachers, about the complicated situation of the religion in the curricula and the precarious labour situation that affects our collective. Nowadays, the APRC represents about the
80% of the religion teachers in Catalonia.
Some of our objectives are: to dignify the situation of the religion area in the curricula, to demand peacefully labour conditions –as the rest of teaching staff have-, to inform the society about our situation, about our function as teaching staff and about the objectives that religion, as a subject, has in Public Education.
