We are keen to develop a series of lessons / teaching ideas that could be used across Europe in the teaching of Religious Education. These could be to develop:

• The teaching of Religious Education
• The development of citizenship education
• The development of inter-cultural and inter-faith education
• The development of holisitic education
• The teaching of religions
• The teaching of ethics and morals

Examples

• The use of Godly play in Finnish schools [Marja Hokenheimo] - download
• "Making it funky" - Religious Education, MP3 players and podcasting [Paul Hopkins] - download
• The Ortoweb: How to share pedagogy for a minority group [Risto Aikonen]- download
• What is life? A presentation for the classroom (not editable) [Dzintra Ilisko] - download
• Look at the Children Talking database? - link - could you add to this? [Paul Hopkins] - download
• How to promote interreligious dialogue in the classroom [Nils Åke-Tidman] - download and a sample set of images

• There is a revision of the curriculum for 11-14 year olds in the UK at this time and it is moving towards a curriculum where the subjects work together. For some examples of how Religious Education is developing materials - click here

A number of examples were developed for a Council of Europe project to see these - click here

National Curriculums in Religious Education

We are also aiming to link to on-line statements about the national curriculms used for the teaching of RE in member countries. See the curriculums we have links to and please contact us if you can add your own.

If you have something that you would like to contribute to these projects please contact us. More about this project as it develops will appear on this page.
