Further training for teachers: "No, I'm not that interested in the Bible now!"

"Nah, I'm not that interested in the Bible now!" Every religion teacher has heard these or similar sentences before. They are often accompanied by demotivation, reluctance, ridicule and doubt on the part of the students, which in turn poses various questions and challenges for us when planning our lessons:

Do I need to integrate the Bible into the lesson at all ? And if so, what is the best way to do this?
How can I make the abstract texts of the Bible interesting and relevant for pupils?
How do I create suitable life-world references... and when is this perhaps not useful at all?

In this training course, these questions will be explored in a practice-oriented way and with a little self-irony. We will not only look together at typical challenges of religious education and in particular the teaching of the Bible, but also at concrete solutions and ways of dealing with these challenges and avoiding mistakes.
In addition to some general approaches, you will learn about specific materials and didactic approaches to various topics for different school levels. In addition, student materials and real teaching videos are used to provide a concise presentation of a real teaching unit that was carried out in a middle school and demonstrates the successful integration of the Bible into the classroom in a variety of ways.

Practical experience will not be neglected here either; you will have the opportunity to try out the approaches presented directly in short hands-on sequences and present your own ideas, so that in the course of the event a small "pool" of teaching ideas, questions, approaches and materials will be created that you can use in your own lessons.
