Young people have a perfect right to good education. They deserve committed educators, safe schools, powerful learning opportunities, but most of all a clear sense of direction, that offers them insight in the values, norms and beliefs of the global community. In Europe, there is a long tradition of public moral and religious education, in close cooperation with churches and faith communities. In this book the expertise of German, Dutch, English and French speaking scholars is collected and reflected on the basis of the metaphor of the city, the place of encounter with other people, in complexity and diversity. This book is an invitation to non-European scholars and educators to get acquainted with these insights.

Bert Roebben is professor of religious education at the Faculty of Humanities and Theology of the "Technische Universität Dortmund" in Germany. He is currently president of the International Association for the Study of Youth Ministry.
