EMILIE
A European approach to multicultural citizenship: Legal, political and educational challenges
This interdisciplinary project is a response to the current “crisis of multiculturalism” and the lack of a common EU intellectual framework to discuss the relevant challenges. The nine partners are selected from nine countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Poland, Spain, UK) so as to represent different experiences of migration and integration, including those still in transition with regard to migration.

REDCO
Religion in Education. A contribution to Dialogue or a factor of Conflict in transforming societies of European Countries
In most European countries we have long assumed that increasing secularisation would lead to a gradual retreat of religion from public space. This tendency has reversed itself in the course of past decade as religion returned to public discourse. Regardless of the wide variety of conditions prevailing in different European countries it appears more and more important to study the increasingly influential factor of 'religion and religiosity' and its ambivalent potential for both dialogue and social conflict and tension. The project's main aim has been to establish and compare the potentials and limitations of religion in the educational systems of selected European countries.
