18.30 <> Aud. D Religion in education - learning or evangelizing We would like to discuss how teaching religion is handled in different European countries. There are a lot of different legacies on this subject, and we would like to hear different opinions and experiences with the different systems. For instance, both Norway and the UK have a governmental protestant church, but different systems. Germany and the Netherlands are divided between protestants and catholics, how do they solve that problem? In Italy, France and Spain there are great catholic majorities. In Norway, the teaching of religion is quite evangelizing. The Norwegian KRL-subject is exported to other countries, but how do they do it in other European countries? Is it information about religion, i.e. is religion a personal matter, or is it evangelizing?

Debatten i forkant var minimal. Reformen innebar en dramatisk endring av utdanningssystemet, og er det norske bidraget i Bolognaprosessen. To år etter har konsekvensene av reformen blitt tydelig, og flere kritiske røster har meldt seg. Reformen var et sentralt valgkamptema under rektorvalget ved UiB, og ser også ut til å bli det ved UiO. Ved UiO har også en professor i musikk har sagt opp stillingen sin i protest mot denne reformen. Hvorfor øker protestene mot denne reformen? Er det ønskelig, og mulig, å få endret hele, eller deler, av denne reformen? Hva kan og bør vi gjøre framover? I panelet stiller blant annet Kristian Gundersen, Professor i biologi og rektorkandidat ved UiO, Knut Kjeldstadli, Professor i historie, UiO, og sitter i attacs fagråd, Rannveig Kaldager, student og aktiv i ROSSO. The so-called quality reform was implemented in Norwegian higher education autumn 2003, with hardly any debate. The reform involved drastic changes of the education system, and is the Norwegian contribution to the Bologna Process.
