Study Workshop

In cooperation with the Kassel Center for Teacher Education, we are setting up the BiG(Bible in Conversation) learning and study workshop. The name is a program and at the same time a bracket: On the one hand, the workshop is to initiate concrete dialogue between people, i.e. students, teachers in the preparatory service, experienced teachers and all interested parties. To this end, seminars, workshops and further training courses are offered. The BiG can also be used by students for professional advice, as a creative workspace and library.

On the other hand, the study workshop pursues the goal of bringing different topics, disciplines and methods into conversation with each other. At the center of these processes is the Bible in a media network: texts, images, figures, music, etc. Of course, the dialogue is not always centered on the biblical texts and media, but it can happen next to them and also apart from them.

In the track of the learning environment H.A.G.A.R (on the homepage of the IKTh you will find more information about this under Projects - P34 ), power, violence, gender and sexuality will initially set the thematic agenda, which will materialize in the equipment, i.e. in the teaching-learning material of the BiG.

In addition, we will focus on interreligious competence in our study workshop (you will find more information on this topic on our homepage under Projects - P35 ). Here, the focus is particularly on interreligious learning and interreligious dialogue in the context of the three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) with their holy scriptures.
