Non-confessional Religious Education

Lecture Series 'Religion and Education' Summer Semester 2021

Nachlese

In the summer semester of 2021, the research area 'Didactics' organised the digital lecture series 'Religion and Education'. It took place on Monday evenings and registered lively participation across national borders. The digital format opened up the possibility of networking between the subject didactics of different religion classes, students and teaching staff. The fact that these encounters were on equal terms became particularly evident in the extensive discussions, which followed the presentations and in the final evaluations with the speakers in a more intimate breakout session.

The concept behind the lecture series was threefold:

1) The focus was on subject-didactical problems of particular relevance for interdenominational education as it exists in Bremen;

2) The lecture series was supported by early-career researchers;

3) The event took place digitally and thus offered the opportunity to expand participants’ individual horizons.

University meets school

We want to link and relate the study of religion at the university to school practice. With this in mind, every six months we cordially invite interested teachers and students to attend various lectures that thematically introduce the mutual exchange of views and joint discussion on the topic. The focus here is on projects that link theoretical insights and their practical implementation, with a significant emphasis on teaching materials for the study of religion in Bremen. For further information (including digital participation), please see the flyer.

We look forward to seeing you at one of these events!
