Young Australians' perspectives on religions and non-religious worldviews

该项目旨在激发不同青年对宗教和信仰的理解，为关于教育如何帮助或阻碍不同文化间理解以及增进福祉和社会包容的辩论提供信息。澳大利亚政府投资于促进尊重宗教多样性和打击暴力极端主义的方案，但对澳大利亚年轻人对宗教和非宗教世界观的看法没有连贯的、基于证据的理解。更多地了解年轻人的观点以及影响他们的因素，可以促进制定适当的教育对策，使学校能够帮助澳大利亚年轻人在其多样化的社会中过上富有成效的生活。

This project aims to elicit diverse young people’s understandings about religion and belief to inform debate about how education assists or impedes intercultural understanding as well as enhancing wellbeing and social inclusion. Australian governments have invested in programs to promote respect for religious diversity and to counter violent extremism, yet there is no coherent, evidence-based understanding of young Australians’ perspectives on religions and nonreligious worldviews. Knowing more about young people's perspectives and what influences them could facilitate development of appropriate educational responses equipping schools to help young Australians to live productively in their diverse society.
