ICCS / IV European Conference in Prague 29th June to 3rd July 2011
Employability - Mobility - Flexibility. European demands challenging Religion and Education
The conference is organized by ICCS and IV in cooperation with CoGREE together with the Hussite Theological Faculty and the Ecumenical Council of Churches / Church Council in the Czech Republic.
The background of the conference theme
Increasingly national education systems have to deal with the influence from European and international developments and dynamics.
The Lisbon strategy, adopted by the European Council in 2000, seeks to integrate education and training into the larger political and economic agenda of the European Union. This has been confirmed and elaborated by the “Strategic framework for European Cooperation in education and training (“ET 2020”), Brussels, 12 May 2010.
Although the documents mention that education should serve social cohesion, personal fulfilment and competences for living together in harmony, the dominating aim seems to be the “employability” of European citizens who should also be flexible and mobile for the needs of a global working market.
The aim of education and training is focussed on a concept of flexible skills and competencies that serve employability, mobility and flexibility.
The Conference will encompass and discuss the European perspectives of education as well as a number of national perceptions and underlying concepts. These are significant for education in general, for religious education in particular as well as for understanding the common endeavour of church and school in a context of plurality.
Programme and other details
The conference includes lectures, project reports, working groups and other (cultural) activities. The organisers expect about 80 participants from all over Europe. An updated version of the program can be downloaded from the IV and ICCS websites (www.iccsweb.org and www.int-v.com).
