In Protestant and Catholic religious education, students with diverse confessional, religious, and ideological perspectives come together. Confessionally cooperative religious education is a common practice in many schools. How can religious educators effectively manage such diversity for everyone's benefit? This handbook provides competent assistance. The volume consists of five parts that focus on the following key areas: I. Fundamental questions, II. Didactic framework conditions, III. Didactic approaches to dealing with diversity in religious education. Central to the book is the practically oriented Chapter IV, which presents religious didactic approaches for managing diversity. Here, you will find, among other things, narrative didactics, diaconal-social learning, and gender-oriented religious education. Chapter V concludes with successful example projects from practice.
