Religious Education: Formation of Christian Character

Within an international community of students and expert (guest) lecturers you will extend your theoretical and practical understanding of Christian education. In this course theology and education meet each other. You will study anthropological issues relevant for education next to Biblical insights about teaching and learning, the Christian image of God, the Kingdom of God and eschatology. The insights are applied to topics of religious education, character/moral education and citizenship education, in light of your desire to serve the development of the Christian character of pupils. By studying theory and reflection on their own practices, this course helps participants to enrich their practice (or the practices they serve) with insights into the development of organisations and people in Christian Education.
