Religion and Education between Asia and Europe

This conference brings together scholars from Europe and Asia to discuss religion and value education in diverse societies. Flows of migration and global exchange transformed and continue to transform religion and value education across Europe and Asia. In Europe, confessional Christian education in religiously open societies is increasingly experienced as a challenge and calls for differentiation and new approaches. European societies have taken different paths and found new ways of offering religious knowledge across traditions. In East, South East and South Asia, religious diversity has been a lived reality for centuries while we can trace the emergence of the semantic category of "religion" in the sinitic languages towards the end of the 19th century only. How does religious and value education currently look like across Asia? What are new approaches to adapt to the needs of global citizens? How can the rise of Life Education be understood? This conference intends to create a stimulating Asian-European exchange related to educational concepts of religion and value education.
