Spirituality and religiosity of people in socially sensitive groups 2403-300-PS-PRSs1
Socially vulnerable groups are people and groups of people in society who require help and support through social welfare structures, social work and community involvement. Among them are the unemployed, refugees and war refugees, as well as all other socially excluded people due to sexual orientation, origin or skin color.
Spirituality is a universal attribute of every human being, hence it is important to notice the spiritual needs of people and groups at risk of exclusion or socially excluded.
Religiosity is one of the manifestations of spirituality and can be expressed in specific religious systems, which, especially in the case of refugees, war refugees and migrants, can be a minority form of religiosity, misunderstood, not accepted or even openly contested or opposed in the new community.
Understanding the basic spiritual and religious needs of excluded people is the aim of these classes.
