What is “laicité”? How can it be promoted at school as a neutral framework for a respectful environment?

This booklet is the result of a collective effort from people involved in a variety of fields in education. It aims at presenting several concepts and offers a dynamic form and synthetic architecture.

• Structured around three types of landmarks to think and acts with the pupils/students.

• Connecting short texts, larger developments to be read online, complementary videos useful links to institutional texts. Such links are signaled by pictograms

This issue of the collections “Repères” for laicité is the result of a collaboration between the ESPE of the Academy of Nantes (Université de Nantes) and the Institute of Religious Pluralism and Atheism (created by the Region Pays de la Loire).
