Call for papers: 17th Nordic Conference of Religious Education

Papers, symposia and posters can be submitted in English, as well as any Nordic language. However, there will be participants from a broad range of European countries; English will thus be the main conference language, and presentations in English will be understood by more participants than Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, or Finnish. Given enough participants in a given Nordic language, we will attempt to gather them in monolingual sessions.

• We invite researchers to submit papers addressing the conference theme. The abstract should be 250 to 300 words.
