Społeczne, etyczne i religijne postawy polskiej młodzieży oraz ich konsekwencje dla nauczania religii w Polsce
Social, Ethical and Religious Attitudes of Polish Youth and the Implications for Teaching Religion in Poland

Summary/Abstract: It is 25 years since when religious education was reestablished in Polish public and private schools. This anniversary encourages for various summaries, drawing conclusions and drafting perspectives. Referring to sociological research of the past few years, the article depicts Polish youth in terms of acquired social, ethical and religious values in order to show important implications for the transmission of religiosity in Poland. The text emphasizes the opportunities the Church is offered by school religious instruction (becoming also catechesis) in providing the youth support for spiritual growth. In case of global changes affecting the youth style of living, greater importance should be attributed to educational activities that will trigger personal experience of God’s love. The evangelization activities carried out within the framework of school education and extracurricular work with children and young people seem to be key factor for the future of the Polish Church as a community that is able to sustain and cultivate religious beliefs and customs allowing thus the maturation of the young generation faith.
