Main Aim: 

This workshop brings together an international group of European experts on interreligious dialogue (IRD) to close one of the major gaps in present-day research on IRD. For the first time, the workshop focuses on a systematic comparison of different ‘national cultures’ of IRD in Europe. Participants will explore practices of IRD in Europe and discuss to what an extent their approaches are shaped by cultural contexts. The outcomes of these discussions will provide a basis for systematic considerations as well as a more concrete evaluation of the role IRD might play in education.
