The panel will explore the question of how religious education can contribute to intercultural understanding and overcoming social boundaries under the conditions of socio-cultural change. Based on European experiences including local perspectives, the discussion will focus on innovative approaches to religious education in pluralistic contexts. The panel aims to encourage discussion of the following questions or topics:
How can interreligious cooperation improve mutual understanding in the classroom?
What role can religious education play in promoting interreligious and intercultural dialogue in polarised societies?
The potential of interdisciplinary cooperation between religious education and for example, political science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, or religious studies to enrich religious education.
What role does cooperation between school and non-school fields of action play with regard to formal and informal educational processes in the context of socio-cultural change?
How can processes of religious education address people in secular contexts and make a contribution to general education and subject formation?
