The scholarly contributors to this volume investigate various means to stimulate and facilitate reflection on new social relations while clarifying the contradictions between religious and social affiliation from different perspectives and experiences. They explore hindrances whose removal could enable Muslim children and youth to pursue equal participation in political and social life, and the ways that education could facilitate this process.

Religious and ethnic diversity have become crucial and pressing concerns in Europe: in particular, the presence of Muslims, their integration, citizenship, and how to deal with the influx of refugees. Can we draw on the resources of religions and their leaders for models of peaceful coexistence or do religious identities constitute obstacles to cooperation and unity? This volume treats “Islam, Religions, and Pluralism in Europe” based on a 2014 conference in Montenegro. Experts analyze Islam and Muslim issues as well as Christian perspectives and state social policies. Case studies drawn from Western and Eastern Europe including the Balkans, constructively review and interrogate diverse theological, philosophical, pedagogical, legal, and political models and strategies that deal with pluralism.

O artigo de Valeria Thomas traz-nos, por sua vez, o olhar internacional a ...
Das vorliegende Handbuch ist eine Kompilation von Beiträgen überwiegend muslimischer Religionspädagog*innen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum, die aktiv am Aufbau der islamischen Religionspädagogik an den deutschsprachigen Universitäten beteiligt sind bzw. waren und diese Pionieraufgabe an den verschiedenen Standorten unter nicht immer einfachen Verhältnissen übernommen haben. Somit spiegelt der Band auch die Lernprozesse wider, die die Autor*innen während der Etablierungsphasen an europäischen Universitäten durchlaufen haben. Das Buch ist eine Einführung in die islamische Religionspädagogik und damit eine sinnvolle Handreichung für Lehrkräfte, Studierende und universitäre Einric...
This volume features chapters by international experts in education, sociology, and theology who consider a range of challenges faced by educators in primary and secondary schools that are becoming increasingly diverse in terms of the ethnic and religious backgrounds of pupils. From the non-religious, to the refugee, to student fundamentalism and even radicalization—these multiple, fresh approaches analyze the dynamics of the changing pedagogical landscape in an age of ever increasing globalization and cultural plurality. Today’s classrooms are often the most crucial spaces where children and adolescents encounter new cultural, religious, and other worldviews. Increasingly, teachers are ...
This open access book focuses on private sponsorship of refugees, which has slowly begun to increase the opportunities for refugees to start new lives in Europe, without putting themselves or their families at risk from perilous journeys. After contextualising the phenomenon and describing the most notable European programmes, the book argues that private sponsorship schemes characterised by naming and additionality should be further explored and trialled within Europe. Having considered the phenomenon from both theoretical and practical viewpoints, the book argues that this would be possible by balancing private sponsors' claims with state sovereignty, in matters such as welfare, integration and security.
