The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning has released a special issue of the International Review of Education – Journal of Lifelong Learning (IRE) decicated to Interreligious and intercultural education for dialogue, peace and social cohesion.
The need for Interreligious and intercultural education in addressing world challenges cannot be over-emphasised, as detailed in the August 2016 special issue of the International Review of Education – Journal of Lifelong Learning (IRE). As conflicts convulse different countries of the world with spill-over effects into many world regions and various attempts to find ‘solutions’, it seems as though dialogue was never more urgently required
The guest editors of this special issue, Mohammed Abu-Nimer and Renáta Katalin Smith of the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue (KAICIID), have compiled a series of five articles which present different perspectives of both the problem of interreligious/intercultural (mis)understanding and the potential of educational initiatives which have been used to respond to them.
