Youth: a difficult identification. Rethinking the Youth Religious Education

Na odgojnom području osobit je problem identificiranje mladenačkih stavova, raspoloživosti i otpora koje mladi pokazuju prema društvenom i crkvenom kontekstu. Članak prikazuje aktualnu udaljenost mladih od tradicije: provjereni podaci ukazuju na vjerodostojnost prijedloga i na odgojne pravce koji se čine ostvarivima u praksi. Kratak pregled pokušaja iz prošlosti i osnovni prikaz sadašnjeg stanja omogućuju da se ponudi prijedlog koji je primjenjiv i na području religijskog odgoja.The anguishing problem in the educative field concerns the identification of youth attitudes, their availability and resistance with those who work in the social and ecclesial contexts. The article points out to how different they are from tradition; some pointed and authoritative references tend to give credibility to the proposed interpretation and to the educative orientation that seem to be practicable. A brief revision of the previous styles employed and a necessary indication of the current attitudes offers an ambit within which the proposal can be articulated, which could be valid also for religious education
