Religious Diversity and Education in Europe

For those interested in wider European matters a series of books has been published by Waxmann. This series, "Religious Diversity and Education in Europe" can be seen on the Waxmann website.

Globalisation and plurality are influencing all areas of education, including religious education. The inter-cultural and multi-religious situation in Europe demands a re-evaluation of the existing educational systems in particular countries as well as new thinking at the broader European level. This new book series is committed to the investigation and reflection on the changing role of religion and education in Europe. Contributions will evaluate the situation, reflect on fundamental issues and develop perspectives for better policy making and pedagogy, especially in relation to practice in the classroom:
