The chapter provides secondary school teachers with a set of new pedagogical approaches to teach history of religion according to a multidisciplinary approach and the use of history of religion to enrich the curricula of humanistic programmes (history, literature, geography etc.). In most European countries, Religion is taught as a separate programme.
