NEW RELIGARE POLICY BRIEF on Religious Symbols and Dress Codes in Public Spaces across the EU

Read the latest RELIGARE policy brief analysing the place of Religion and Belief in public spaces across the EU, by Silvio Ferrari.

Welcome to the RELIGARE Project!

The RELIGARE project is about religions, belonging, beliefs and secularism in Europe. It examines the legal rules protecting or limiting (constraining) the experiences of religious or other belief-based communities. Where the practices of communities or individuals do not conform to State law requirements, or where communities turn to their own legal regimes or tribunals, the reasons behind these developments need to be understood. 

 

The RELIGARE project is a three-year European research project funded by the European Commission Directorate General Research - Unit L Science, Economy and Society. It comprises 13 universities and research centres from across the European Union and Turkey. read more
