Since 2003 specialists of religious education at the Faculty of Theology, University of Latvia, cooperate closely with colleagues from universities of Tartu, Helsinki and Joensuu. One form of this cooperation is organizing academic conferences with the aim of acquiring a wider view of the results of current research in the field and creating opportunities for doctoral students to present their research on the international level. The first two conferences took place at the Tartu University (2003, 2005), and at the last conference the majority of participants decided to choose the University of Latvia in Riga as the venue for the next meeting.
Thus, we are pleased to announce the 3rd international religious education conference „Finish Baltic Initiative’2007 - „Holistic Education and Holistic Learning,” which will take place on October 2-5, 2007, in Riga, Faculty of Theology, University of Latvia. During this conference lecturers, researchers and doctoral students in religious education will be able to present their latest research findings on religious education. This is one of the few opportunities for doctoral students of the Baltic region to present internationally their research in a supportive and positive atmosphere, as well as for Baltic and Finnish universities to promote further cooperation and joint research projects in the field of religious education.
