The conference will be followed by an alumni workshop on 8th June 2023. An excursion and cultural activity to learn more about Dakar to round up the event will take place on the last day, 9th June 2023.
The focus of this third afriBIAN conference is on the impact of religion in educational institutions and in the public sphere in Africa. How is the teaching on various religions part of the curriculum in public or private education instititions in different African countries? What kind of religious or moral values are (supposed to be) transmitted in the respective institutions?

- Education in religion and religious education in learning institutions
- Religious curricula in education
