Today, 7 June 2015, His Beatitude Daniel, Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church awarded, at the Patriarchal Residence, the winners the „Religious Education” National Didactic Materials Contest – tradition and topicality.
His Beatitude delivered a congratulatory speech in which he thanked the winners for their involvement in the education of the youth: “We congratulate you for this special work, first of all for your participation in the contest, and secondly for the prizes won. The national contest of didactic material for religious education gave good results and we hope that after this contest the didactic materials will be improved. We are also glad that we shall be able to bring more joy to children and to their parents, mostly because today it is the Sunday and parents and children that the Holy Synod established as day dedicated to parents and children after 1 June. Since the Child’s International Day presents only the child, we wished to have a Sunday of the parents and children which means gratitude to God for the gift to have children and gratitude of the children to have parents, and most of all good parents”.
The „Religious Education” National Didactic Materials Contest – tradition and topicality – edition I (2015) was organised, with the blessing of His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel and approval of the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church, by the Theological Educational Department of the Patriarchal Administration, from 2 February – 7 June 2015.
The general purpose of the contest was to develop a competitive context, at national level, for working out didactical materials for the Religion class. The 1st edition of the contest focused on the didactical materials needed for forms I, II, III and IV.
