DESCRIPTION:The twenty-fourth session of ISREV will be held in Riga\, Latv
 ia from Sunday\, July 27 to Friday\, August 1st\, 2025. ISREV seminars ea
 ch have a theme\, and this time we will focus on “Religious education in
  turbulent times: How to foster hope and well-being of young people?” (W
 e will also have papers on other topics). During the seminar researchers a
 nd experts from the field will discuss How can religious and values educa
 tion sustain hope in the time of political\, cultural\, and ecological dis
 tress? How can religious education (RE) foster well-being and resilience 
 in the world of uncertainties and constant crises? In the face of multipl
 e challenges\, how can RE contribute to enhancing dialogue and human flour
 ishing? There is a need for new research that would shed light on the rol
 e of RE in preparing young people to face the challenges of our time both 
 on the individual and collective level. The interconnectedness of technolo
 gy\, religion and education is a theme that deserves more scholarly intere
 st in the field of RE and where RE faces similar challenges to humanities 
 at large. A critical role of RE is to prepare young people to navigate the
  complex and technologized world\, to find meaning and feel at home\, as w
 ell as foster autonomy and critical awareness.Plenary Speakers:Prof. Mary 
 Hess (USA)Prof. Gerdien Bertram-Troost (Netherlands)Associate prof. Ole An
