The 2015 Paris Declaration on Promoting Citizenship and the Common Values of Freedom, Tolerance and Non-discrimination through Education aims at strengthening all actions in the field of education with a view to: "Ensuring inclusive education for all children and young people which combats racism and discrimination on any ground, promotes citizenship and teaches them to understand and to accept differences of opinion, of conviction, of belief and of lifestyle, while respecting the rule of law, diversity and gender equality", as well as "Strengthening children’s and young people’s ability to think critically and exercise judgement so that, particularly in the context of the Internet and social media, they are able to grasp realities, to distinguish fact from opinion, to recognise propaganda and to resist all forms of indoctrination and hate speech".The main value of European citizenship is its dynamic and dialogical character: it is inclusive and based on the cultural diversity of its memberships. For this reason, since religion is a paradigmatic element of culture, the development of religious pluralism and the implementation of tools to ensure it are relevant aspects in order to save the intercultural dimension of Europe. In this sense, education to religious pluralism is a key to achieve civil awareness and social cohesion in the construction of a democratic model of European citizenship.The project is focused on an innovative, participatory-based, pedagogical protocol and aims to ensure first and foremost the right of children to be fully integrated through adequate intercultural and inter-religious mediation.The project will provide teachers with the content and methodological skills to develop in participatory form an innovative pedagogical method to teach religion. Teachers will be supported in handling the differences, in order to become in their own classes facilitators of a process of critical research enabled by the children, in which they will be asked to express their needs, their vision of the world, and their aspirations in relation to the religious pluralism. Therefore, the project addresses both the content of religious education and an innovative pedagogical method, applying the participatory approach to religious education in order to promote an intercultural citizenship “from below”, which is activated by the children.The partnership has been organized in order to have the highest spectrum of competences needed to accomplish all the project aims. Each member of the network has strict relationships with the regional institutional and the local social system and has the task to involve religious associations with a specific program of social and cultural inclusion.The project will be articulated in the following activities: project management; quality assessment and evaluation; project implementation diffusion and dissemination of the project outcomes; mainstreaming, multiplication and valorisation of the project results. In particular, the implementation activities will consist in a research phase (aiming at providing an in-depth analysis of the religion education approaches in the countries involved and the definition of the needs of the stakeholders about the religion plurality in schools) and a participatory process. This innovative model considers the participation in two ways: participatory workshops with experts, headmasters and teachers about the elaboration of a pedagogical and didactic model consistent with religious pluralism in Europe and laboratory workshops with the children, in order to le emerge their perception of cultural identity and diversity in Europe. In the participatory approach the children become educators, and they can contribute to the informal education of other children, making possible a peer-to-peer approach.
