RE
and e-citizenship: The advent of the electronic age has
meant a redefinition of communities and of citizens. The e-citizen
can be a member of an e-community that transcends national boarders,
traditional groups and religious affiliations. Religious groups
have also to come to terms with these new communities as congregations
which are no longer physical and truth is no longer the preserve
of a particular group - but can be a dialogic and shared commodity.
The workshop will explore how new technologies challenge the existing
ideas of community and how religious education in schools can utilise
these technologies to help students to form e-communities and become
e-citizens within the new Europe. |

Music
and citizenship P!O!P!- culture: Fundamentalism as a challenge
to citizenship. Many different schools of criticism towards industrialized
societies finally end up in a rejection of what "we" call active,
participative citizenship. Taking Reggae and Rastafarism as an example
weŽll see what this criticism is all about. |

Philosophy
and Citizenship: This workshop will
give an introduction to a piece of interdisciplinary material for
the subjects RE, philosophy and social science, as citizenship is
not a subject in DK. We will investigate how philosophy can be used
as a tool for dialogue aiming at the development of oral and argumentation
skills. Such a philosophical practice creates a basis for critical
thinking and judgment of statements in everyday life. Thus, philosophical
methods can contribute to developing democratic literacy |

Conflict
and co-operation in Citizenship: Nowadays
the ‘non –sense’ conflicts in our cities are
food for the media and are linked with key words such as human
rights, intolerance and citizenship. Photographers transform a
public place of crime into dying nature. Silence and anger are
nearby . Are these places the new sanctuaries? We will investigate
the possibilities to use visual data as modern religious art,
new symbols and rituals and stories to initiate and support young
citizens in an alternative way of thinking and handling about
these contrast experiences (E.Schillebeeckx).
This interactive workshop is based on a 7 stepstones model to
make ideas into action by using co-operative and transformative
learning. |

Citizenship
in Turkey: In the debate about whether Turkey belongs to
the European Community or not, you hear and read an intriguing mixture
of arguments of a political, religious and geographic nature. If
the idea that by defining "other people", you define yourself
holds true, it is important to ask what exactly we are saying about
the Turks. If "they" are Muslims, then "we"
must be Christians (in a way that is meaningful to us) - if "they"
are religious, we must be secular (maybe in such a way that secularism
almost becomes a religion to us) - if "they" are traditionalists,
then we must be modernists (but does that mean that we are afraid
of anything deeply rooted in tradition?) - if "they" are
authoritarian, then we must define ourselves as democrats (but hasn't
democracy something to do with listening to people different from
ourselves), etc. We want to look into the arguments from the press
and from the politicians and try to find patterns in the way we,
as Europeans, talk and appreaise "other people". |

The
role of RE and Citizenship in a new Northern Ireland: The
political, social and educational landscape of Northern Ireland
is changing dramatically. Along with the prospect of agreement on
power sharing in government between traditional enemies, and increased
multi cultural immigration, there will be a new emphasis on the
part shared and inclusive education can have in reconciling this
divided society. From September 2007 in all Northern Ireland schools
there will be a new statutory R.E. syllabus (drawn up by the main
Christian Churches) and Citizenship will be introduced to the curriculum
for the first time as a discrete subject. This workshop will examine
the implications of these changes and the part that R.E. and Citizenship
can play in reconciling divisions and in supporting a shared future
for all citizens. |
