‘International Education and Religious Plurality’ consists of research based discussions aimed at helping educators and policy makers to bring the dimension of religious diversity to intercultural education in Europe. The report is written by members of Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit as a contribution to the Oslo Coalition’s Project on Teaching for Tolerance and Freedom of Religion or Belief.
The Oslo Coalition of Freedom of Religion or Belief is an international network of representatives from faith communities, NGOs, international organisations and the academic world aiming at promoting freedom of religion or belief and strengthening interfaith cooperation worldwide. The Oslo Coalition is based on the notion that freedom of religion or belief in an universal standard as stated in Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 18 of the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, and the 1981 United Nations Declaration Based on the Elimination of all Forms of Intolerance and Discrimination Based upon Religion or Belief. The Oslo Coalition seeks to promote freedom of religion or belief through dialogue and cooperation.
‘Teaching for Tolerance and Freedom of Religion or Belief’ is an Oslo Coalition project which seeks to develop a global interdisciplinary network in order to contribute to the development and dissemination of material for education, and to evaluate different educational models.
