"Every action I take, whether I feed myself or teach, is political because everything is connected to everything else." (Cohn and Schulz von Thun, 1994, p.42)
This quotation highlights the interconnectedness of societal contexts, pointing out that even small actions carry political implications—particularly in pluralistic societies. Political and religious education share core values such as solidarity, community, and cooperative coexistence.
This panel will focus on interreligious approaches while exploring the pedagogical and didactic dimensions of political education through the following topics and questions:
(Historical-)Political Education in Supporting Democratic Values: Didactical Approaches
• Which didactic principles are relevant for connecting history and political education?
• What role does multiperspectivity play in political and history didactics?
• What are the main opportunities and challenges identified in the teaching and learning processes of political education at schools?
• Which factors influence the goals of political education and didactics, particularly in the development of students' critical thinking and participatory skills?
Inclusive Political and Religious Education as a Key to Social Participation: Pedagogical Approaches
• What role does political and religious education play in breaking down barriers to social participation, particularly for students who may be disadvantaged or excluded due to their educational biographies, religious affiliations etc.?
• Which pedagogical approaches support involving students actively in political and religious education processes?
Religious and Political Education: Interreligious Approaches
• What is the significance of political-religious education?
• What is the aim of religious education in the context of political education?
• How could interdisciplinary and interreligious perspectives be explored within political education?
