Religions and Relationships: Dealing with Diversity

The 2013 EFTRE conference will in Malmø, Sweden from August 21st to 24th, 2013

The EFTRE conference is aimed at those working with teachers of Religion, Citizenship or Ethics in schools across Europe. You might be a teacher in a school, a teacher educator, an advisor of teachers or a researcher into RE teaching. The pattern of the conference is keynotes, workshops, seminars and language groups and we are happy to take submissions for displays.

Religions and relationships are deeply intergrated aereas. Religions create communities and make people come together. Religious traditions have great impact on peoples ideals of family-life, upbringing of children, gender and sexuality. But how does it work in a society with many religions and traditions? Their different religions and habits may create misunderstanding and deep cliffs between people. How can a multi-religious society prosper under the umbrella of The Human Rights? How can school and education support the process of understanding and mutual respect?

Please put the date into your diary and let others in schools, teacher organisations and other groups know about the conference. We are always looking for sponsorship for the conference and would be willing to talk to organisations or groups who would like to offer sponsorship.
