Our panel focuses on the opportunities for cooperation in religious education in schools in its diverse constitution in Europe, above all in denominational or religious studies lessons, but also in religious education in other school subjects, such as ethics, history or political education. The panel will engage with the analysis, reflection and discussion of the conditions for success as well as the question of opportunities and challenges associated with the cooperation of religious education in an increasingly multi-religious and multi-cultural society. To this end, possibilities for cooperation between teachers of different denominations and religions will be discussed. This applies accordingly for school administrators and religious communities or for teachers of different subjects who want to make religious references or influences clear to their pupils through interdisciplinary work in other contexts.
The panel will address the following questions: What pedagogical, didactic, curricular, institutional and legal frameworks are required for cooperative forms of religious education or for religious education outside of school? What challenges arise in practice, especially with regard to different theological perspectives, organizational barriers or the protection of religious freedom?
By bringing together experts from the fields of religious education, law, theology and educational research, the panel aims to generate interdisciplinary insights and develop concrete recommendations for action in order to strengthen religious education as a place of encounter and dialogue.
