​​

The Second Joint AREIAC / AULRE conference

​​​

The University of Exeter

 

 

 

 

The ​​Association of University Lecturers in Religion and Education (AULRE) and Association of Religious Education Inspectors, Advisers and Consultants (AREIAC) is delighted to announce its 2025 joint conference, at The University of Exeter on 26th and 27th June 2025.

 

In a time of climate and ecological breakdown, of social and political upheavals and increased polarization internationally, we address the question as to what a high-quality education in religion and worldviews can boldly offer to education at this time.

​

Our conference brings together those with an interest in Religious Education - including researchers, teacher educators, advisers and teachers. Those working in aligned fields such as Education Studies, Moral Education, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Theology as well as from within Childhood and Youth studies may also be interested in attending and offering presentations.

​

​We look forward to welcoming all those with an interest with religion in education, including researchers, teacher educators, advisers and teachers and those working in aligned fields such as Education Studies, Moral Education, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Theology as well as from within Childhood and Youth studies.
