Religious Diversity and Education in Europe
Vol 41
All contributions to the volume were developed in the
context of the European Network for Religious Education through
Contextual Approaches (ENRECA). In the 20 year history of the research
community of ENRECA several times books are published on contextual
factors of Religious Education. This volume has a special focus on
different perspectives of ‘time’ in relation to the tradition, present
and future perspectives of Religious Education in Europe.During the 20
year history of the European Network for Religious Education through
Contextual Approaches (ENRECA), several books have been published on the
Subject of Religious Education, from sociological, psychological or
anthropological perspectives and always in the contextual Settings of
national educational frameworks and other specific culturally bound
phenomena. Also, very often, an international comparative perspective
was included. The shared goal was not so much to reflect on religion as
such, and on its changing doctrines, institutions and prescriptions, but
to try and understand religion in the specific European contexts of
secularization and the plurality of life orientations, and to understand
how religion becomes manifest in education in a variety of concrete
policies and classroom practices, reflecting various social issues.
This volume, marking the 20th anniversary of ENRECA, has a specific
focus on the contextual dimension of time.

Religious Diversity and Education in Europe
Vol 30
The speed, scale and spread of international migration
and globalisation have firmly placed the issue of intercultural dialogue
at the top of the educational agenda in Europe and elsewhere. In this
book, Skrefsrud sheds light on intercultural dialogue as a key
competence for teachers working in changing and diverse classrooms. In
the first part, the notion of dialogue is explored with the theory of
culture, religion and communication as the focus. In the second part,
Skrefsrud analyses the government-initiated curriculum framework for
teacher education in Norway and discusses the preconditions for
intercultural dialogue in educational policies. The analysis illustrates
how difficult it is to make issues of difference permeate all aspects of
teacher preparation.
