Abstract

The future of religious education is a pressing and controversial issue. The students themselves are the ones who are most affected by the results of the discussion. Therefore, it makes sense to involve them in the discourse and at the same time to train their judgement competence in an interdisciplinary learning setting. With the help of diversely designed lessons, different perspectives on the above-mentioned question can be thrown into focus, so that questions about the general relationship between state and religion come into view just as much as how to deal with diversity in a society.
