Seminar (Copenhagen)
Religion and childhood education
A workshop co-organized by Karen Valentin, member of the CISCA-board
Danish School of Education, Aarhus University
25th November 2010, 1-3.30 pm in D219

Religion and education are fundamentally interrelated, yet the nature of the relationship is more contentious in some historical periods than in others. We are presently witnessing renewed controversies over the place of religion in childhood education, both within and beyond schools. Governments, religious communities, educators and other stakeholders in the cultural production of moral persons and good citizens are vying for influence over children’s public affinities and affiliations.
The seminar will explore the controversial nature of the relationship between religion and childhood education through a focus on the role religion and religious transmission play in both national and minority strategies of identity formation and community-making.
