The 11th Nordic Conference of Religious Education

6 – 9 June 2011 in Aarhus, Denmark

The 11^th Nordic Conference of Religious Education (NCRE) will take place at the Faculty of Theology, Aarhus University. We welcome researchers, practitioners and others interested in religious education to contribute in exploring the conference theme.

The focus of the 2011 NCRE conference will be on different ways of understanding and approaching Religious Education (RE) in a modern context. During the last decades, the field of RE has become polarized. While some have advocated for religious formation and socialization to be the core intention with this area of education, others have rather highlighted communication of knowledge and critical information. Whichever position one supports, the framework of RE is to some extent dictated by governmental control. Different positions will be given the floor during this conference, opening up for discussions on differences and/or concordances on what the task of RE should be in a globalized future.

The conference language is English, although papers presented in one of the Nordic languages are accepted.

Time: The conference starts at 11:00 on 6 June and ends at 13:30 on 9 June^.

Venue: The conference will take place at the Faculty of Theology, Aarhus University. The full address of conference venue is: TAASINGEGADE 3, 8000 AARHUS C
