Bei dieser Fortbildung geht es um die Frage, wie religiöse Bildung und Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung zusammenwirken, um Schüler:innen so besonders wirksames Lernen zu ermöglichen. Vom 20. bis 22. März 2024 lädt CoGREE Schulpädagog:innen aus ganz Europa nach Brüssel ein. Anhand von konkreten Best-Practice-Beispielen werden die Teilnehmenden neue Ideen für den Religionsunterricht oder die Gestaltung ihrer (religiösen) Schulgemeinschaft entwickeln. Diese Fortbildung richtet sich an Schulpädagog:innen, die sich für den Religionsunterricht interessieren, an Koordinatoren, Fortbildner:innen, Schulleitende sowie an Lehrkräfte.
In Folgeveranstaltungen (on- und offline) im Herbst 2024 und im Frühjahr 2025 werden die Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit haben, sich mit Wissenschaftler:innen auf diesem Gebiet auszutauschen und gemeinsam innovative Ansätze im Bereich der religiösen Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung zu entwickeln.
Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Veranstaltungen nur dann stattfinden, wenn ein erfolgreicher Antrag auf Finanzierung durch das EU-Programm Erasmus+ vorliegt.
This training asks how religious education and education for sustainable development can act together and achieve a special impact in students’ learning today. From 20-22 March 2024 CoGREE invites school educators from around Europe to Brussels. Based on concrete best practice examples, participants will develop new ideas for teaching religious education or shaping their (religious) school community. This training is designed for school educators interested in religious education, coordinators, teacher trainers and school directors as well as teachers.
In follow-up events (both on- and offline) in fall 2024 and spring 2025, participants will have the chance get into exchange with researchers in the field and to take action together to create innovative approaches in the field of religious education for sustainable development.
Please note that these events will only take place provided a successful application for funding by the EU Erasmus+ programme.
In the year 2002/03 the study project „Sustainability and Religion(s) – a Pilgrimage” was initiated by the Austrian Ministry of Science and Education. It was the starting point of PILGRIM, an international educational network that stresses a fourth dimension of sustainability: spirituality. Ecumenism and interreligious dialogue were main values from the beginning. On 6th June 2023, the big celebration of 20 years of PILGRIM will take place in Vienna putting its pedagogical concept and the many participating schools around Europe in the spotlight.
With a workshop held on 4th October 2022 with the director of the Vatican “Laudato si Action Platform”, John Mundell, PILGRIM already started the festivities of its 20 years. A fruitful exchange developed as the Vatican platform highlights similar goals as PILGRIM: “Sustainable Pedagogy” and “Ecological Spirituality”.
It’s time again for the latest PILGRIM newsletter!
As mentioned in the last PILGRIM newsletter, all schools are invited to present their projects at the certification ceremony on June 6th, 2023. Don’t miss the registration deadline, it has been prolonged until the end of January 2023!
In this issue there is an interesting commentary by Dr. Martin Jäggle on the topic “Democracy needs more participation” and in addition to announcements of shortly upcoming events in 2022 and 2023, there are recommendations for various Christmas-Instead-Activities and, as usual, new literature on sustainability and spirituality. Please also note that next year there will be an edition of the PILGRIM-Mit-Welt-Experte-Pass for the Upper School.
We would also like to point out, among other things, the reports on the PILGRIM kick-off workshop on the goals of Laudato Si’ and the PILGRIM certifications during the 9th International PILGRIM Conference in Poland in September, alongside the demands of the Alliance for Climate Justice, of which PILGRIM is also a member, for the COP27 climate conference, as well as information on the Laudato Si’ Action Platform (LSAP), in which all schools are invited to participate.

After the General Assembly 2021 had only taken place digitally, also the symposium on “Challenges of digitalisation for religion and education in Christian schools” could not be organised as planned in Riga this spring. Corona and in addition the Russian war in Ukraine made the situation during March/April too unsafe for planning and travelling into the Baltic states.
Although there is no end of war in sight at the moment, we want to risk a new attempt to meet in Riga for the General Assembly in autumn 2022. A sign of closeness and connection with our Baltic friends and colleagues seems important right now! The board of IV discussed it in May and decided to organise the General Assembly from 4th to 6th November 2022 in Riga. But the topic of the symposium will be changed into: “Dare to hope!? – How Christian schools accompany the growing up of youngsters in times of crisis”. Theological and pedagogical questions on peace education and peace ethics, concepts of religious education and school pastoral care to strengthen students in times of crisis as well as practical experiences with war refugees in our schools will be the centre of attention during the symposium.
We really hope to succeed this time to meet in Riga for exchange and encounter! All members of IV as well as interested non-members are cordially invited! A detailed program will be published in time.
The ERASMUS+ project “Discovering a sustainable Mindset-SYSMind” has been started with a meeting in Vienna in April 2022. It had been well organised by the “Centre of Education for Sustainable Development and Spirituality” of the Viennese university college KPH Wien/Krems, which cooperates with PILGRIM. Participants from Spain, Germany, Latvia, Austria, Turkey, North Macedonia and Ukraine were present. The university college of Agrarian and Environmental Pedagogy in Vienna, leading the project, created a homepage https://www.sustainablemindset.eu The output of this project will be teaching materials and a MOOC.
This is the mission declared for the upcoming World Congress of OIEC on 1-3 December 2022 in Marseille, France. OIEC ist the international office for Catholic education representing Catholic Education institutions worldwide, of which CEEC represents the European secretariat.
Educators, persons responsible and speakers from all over the world will gather in Marseille to discuss, exchange and celebrate under the headline “The Catholic School as a body of Hope to change the World”.
