Genesis of an Ideal

At a time when traditional cultures are mixing, meeting, and sometimes clashing, the risk of lapsing into intolerance, discrimination, or even extremism, has never been greater.

The process of globalisation has, to a significant degree, overturned both the secular and religious structures in our society. Yet, in a context where people are seeking new reference points, it is important that each of us find our own place in this apparent contradiction between tradition and modernity.

Convinced that knowledge is essential for mutual respect and appreciation of other cultures, the World Religions Project has designed a dynamic multimedia game that doubles as a successful learning tool. Research and development for the game evolved through a unique and fruitful cooperation between Geneva’s entrepreneurial and non-profit sectors.

Global Education is understood to encompass Development Education, Human Rights Education, Education for Sustainability, Education for Peace and Conflict Prevention and Inter-cultural Education; being the global dimensions of Education for Citizenship.
