In the Christian context, the calling to contribute to the common good has increasingly been discussed under the label of “public theology”, and has led to the establishment of a “Global Network of Public Theology” (2007). In this discussion, the educational aspect has repeatedly been mentioned, but has remained marginal up to now. Other religions have their own traditions and perspectives, from which responsibility for society is motivated and reflected. The project intends to draw attention to the contribution of religions to the common good, with a focus on educational aspects. In a first step this was realized by an international conference that took place in October 2016.
