Science, Religion, Nationalism and Atheism. A network of “spring schools”. (SCiReNA)

Summary:

The main goal of this project is to organise three short “Spring Schools” on Science and Religion in Spain, Greece and Poland with the following aims in mind: (1) to test a short version of a syllabus on science and religion, formerly supported by the INSBS, in different geographical and cultural (and non-English speaking) settings; (2) to test the theses of a recent project and volume on ‘Science, Religion and Nationalism’, due to appear in Routledge in the coming months; (3) to explore local information for a new project on Science, Religion and Atheism. These three “spring schools” would last two to three days and take place between early April and mid-June 2024.

The project has the following Outputs :

OP1-3. Three workshop programs, one for each workshop, accompanied with photos of the events.
OP4-6: Three participant pre- and post-survey results, one for each workshop
OP7: A final report on the findings of the project, co-written by the PI and CI

The Outcomes of the project are :

OC1-3: Quantifiable change on the attitudes, perceptions and knowledge of the attendees of each workshop, measured through the pre- and post – survey.
OC4: An improvement and evolution of the pedagogical framework developed by the PI and CI.
OC4: An article on the findings of the project, co-authored by the CI and PI.
