This paper discusses citizenship in Finnish religious education (RE) in relation to human security. It traces the characteristics of human security that connect citizenship, religion, and education in Finnish policy documents. The article focuses on basic education (grades 7–9). Its data were analyzed employing qualitative content analysis (QCA). The findings indicate that citizenship in Finnish RE entails personal security concerns dealing with psychological and human rights issues. These are found to be essentially human security as conceptualized by the United Nations (UN). However, Finnish policy documents sparingly utilize human security in explicit terms. Finland rather emphasizes the practical applications of human security. Incorporation of explicit global citizen and human rights issues into RE in the new Finnish curriculum seems to project critical global citizenship. This is found to promote human security. Following Finland’s bid for practical application of human security, we recommend (but cautiously) that human security be explicitly integrated into the Finnish RE curriculum.

芬兰宗教教育中的人类安全和公民身份：在人权视野内重新思考安全

本文讨论了与人类安全相关的芬兰宗教教育 (RE) 中的公民身份。它追溯了芬兰政策文件中将公民、宗教和教育联系起来的人类安全特征。文章侧重于基础教育（7-9 年级）。其数据采用定性内容分析 (QCA) 进行分析。调查结果表明，芬兰 RE 的公民身份涉及处理心理和人权问题的个人安全问题。发现这些本质上是联合国 (UN) 概念化的人类安全。然而，芬兰的政策文件很少以明确的方式使用人的安全。芬兰更强调人类安全的实际应用。将明确的全球公民和人权问题纳入芬兰新课程中的可再生能源似乎体现了批判性的全球公民身份。发现这可以促进人类安全。继芬兰争取人类安全的实际应用之后，我们建议（但谨慎地）将人类安全明确纳入芬兰可再生能源课程。
