The characteristic of schools500reformation
Global network of protestant schools
S. 23schools500reformation | Kohlmann / Scheunpflug / Simojoki | Universität Bamberg
Focus in 2014:Rediscover roots
Rediscover roots…
The participating schools and students should make sure of their roots in the
Reformation and discover significant findings by taking close look on this.
(mediation between past and present time)
… in Reformation worldwide
the adjunct „worldwide“ underlines the milestone of the global perspective of the
discovery process. Therefore the prime function of the teaching material lies in connecting the discovery and confirmation process more closely with each other.
(mediation between local and global perspectives)
S. 24schools500reformation | Kohlmann / Scheunpflug / Simojoki | Universität Bamberg
Objective
The participating schools
• reconstruct the roots of the Reformation in their own history and consider how these roots are noticeable in the current school profile.
• deal with the self positioning of at least one other school of another country or continent and develop sensibility for the global plurality of Protestant schools.
Focus in 2014:Rediscover roots
S. 25schools500reformation | Kohlmann / Scheunpflug / Simojoki | Universität Bamberg
