Abstract
Like in other European countries, Switzerland is also experienc ing a societal shift characterised by heterogeneity. This can con verge or diverge, but it can also present challenges, especially in an educational context. The PHSG (University of Teacher Education, St. Gallen) aims to respond to this reality through its degree pro grammes by preparing prospective teachers authentically and op timally for contemporary teaching. This is achieved by integrating an interreligious approach into teacher education, particularly in the basic module ERG (Ethics, Religions, Community) and in spe cialised ERG studies. In 2017, the PHSG established a centre for ethical and interreligious learning, which primarily focuses on research in this thematic area. After first outlining the current research on the topic of interre ligious learning in educational practice at PHSG within the frame work of KIAL, while also addressing the relevance of the topic, I will elaborate on the objective of the work done at PHSG and, con sequently, of the article presented here. Based on relevant research questions and a theoretical framework of the subject, the key find ings of the empirical study will be highlighted. Eventually, the dis cussion culminates in a conclusion, which not only points out limitations but also formulates a possible outlook. The findings presented here were obtained as part of my master’s thesis at Danube University in Krems within the master’s programme Islam and Mi grations in Europe and are summarised here.
