Utrecht, 31 October and 1 November 2024
Traditioning can be seen as a necessary part of a pedagogic approach and can be helpful in nurturing social and moral imagination. Nowadays we raise new generations in a society that is typified as ‘posttraditional’.
In education we tend to overlook the dimension of traditioning, forgetting how the human person is always part of a religious, moral and cultural narrative. The conference is dedicated to the meaning of traditions and traditioning for Christian education and formation today. Researchers, teachers, students that are somehow interested in this theme are invited to participate.
Religion deeply influences how we live and think. The Neo-Calvinism Research Institute (NRI) at Theological University Utrecht examines how this relation takes shape and develops globally over time in the tradition of Neo-Calvinism.
To conduct academic research in relation to this tradition, we promote, support, supervise and coordinate the work of researchers, offer education on neo-Calvinism, organize conferences and expert meetings, facilitate publication of research, and present a collection of sources from representatives of Neo-Calvinism.
