Hacia una pastoral educativa renovada. Estrategias para fortalecer la educación religiosa en contextos escolares diversos

Abstract

The article addresses the urgent need to renew School Religious Education (ERE) in diverse school contexts marked by cultural and religious diversity. The main objective is to propose inclusive pastoral strategies that integrate faith, culture, and life, responding to the current realities of students. A qualitative methodology is employed based on documentary analysis and Latin American theological-pastoral reflection. The results highlight the importance of a dialogical, contextualized, and student-centered ERE that promotes respect, inclusion, and interreligious dialogue. In conclusion, it is suggested that ERE should become a space that accompanies formative processes in a comprehensive and meaningful way. The article contributes to the academic field by providing updated criteria and strategies that enrich educational practice from a Christian, transformative perspective adapted to current challenges.
