The European Wergeland Center in cooperation with Oslo University College is organizing the seminar "Religious Diversity in Intercultural Education - Policies and Practices".
Main speaker: Prof. Robert Jackson, University of Warwick
Place: Oslo University College, Pilestredet 46, 1. etg
Time: March, 2nd 2010, 13.00-16.00
Which place do religions and beliefs have in different approaches towards intercultural education? Which are the consequences of these differences with regard to educational policies and practices?
These questions will be addressed in a lecture by Prof. Jobert Jackson, an international expert in the field of religious diversity. Jackson will give an outline of the differences between OSCE and Council of Europe's approaches towards religious diversity.
A presentation of the Oslo University College's INTERKULT project will show that many of the assumptions to be found in the policy field are mirrored in this intercultural practice. Based on these presentations, we invite participants to discuss the significance of religious diversity in intercultural education, and to discuss possible improvements in taking this aspect into consideration.
No registration required.
