Abstract

The Dutch public schools were supposed to be neutral. But how can you be neutral in a religiously divers society? In the 1980’s two important decisions were made. All children should be taught about the different world religions and should be “actively pluriform”. VOS/ABB wants to take this a step further with the concept of “the art of  iving”. Following this vision, there are two concepts that are being explored at this moment: “Telling stories and Asking questions” and “Dialogue School”.
