“Study of religions against prejudices & stereotypes”: Conferences on the SORAPS Project

“Study of religions against prejudices & stereotypes”: Conferences on the SORAPS Project

In the school year 2018/2019, two meetings have been scheduled in order to introduce students and teachers to the SORAPS Project.

“Marco Foscarini” High School in Venice (Fondamenta Santa Caterina, Cannaregio 4942) hosts both the meetings open to all those who are willing to participate. The first meeting took place on 12 September and the second one will be implemented on 4 December.

The agenda remains unchanged for both the days in order to let those students and teachers who have an interest in it decide when participate.

The aim of these two sessions is not only to present the entire SORAPS Project and its first outcomes in order to involve other teachers both within and outside the School, but also to share the ideas, themes and arguments which lie at the heart of the project with those students who are not (yet) directly involved in it. It is also an occasion to raise interest in Multiplication Training Activities.

Massimo Raveri from Cà Foscari University and Vincenzo Pace from Padua University give their voices to the project, talking about how religions are a renewed presence in the current times, among new medias and violence.
