ENRECA:
The group is committed to research on the educational
implications of the changing patterns of religious and secular plurality
in European countries. ENRECA operates as an on-going research seminar
and currently includes scholars from Germany, the United Kingdom,
the Netherlands, Norway, France and Estonia. Seminars include the
presentation and critical discussion of current research, the exchange
of research findings and discussions of common issues relevant to
the European context. A key element of the group's work is its concern
to ensure that research findings are relevant to educational policy
makers and practitioners. The group is committed to involving practitioners
in the research process and includes teachers and teacher educators
who are engaged in research as well as academics from various relevant
fields, professional researchers and PhD students.Contact person:
Professor H. G. Heimbrock (heimbrock@em.uni-frankfurt.de).
The group's
first book was published in 2001, and includes critical essays and
research reports relating to diversity as a challenge for education
in Europe (Heimbrock, Hans-Günter, Scheilke, Christoph Th.
and Schreiner, Peter (eds) (2001) Towards Religious Competence:
Diversity as a Challenge for Education in Europe, (Münster:
Lit Verlag)). In addition, members of the group publish a wide range
of relevant articles and books.
