Young people, school and religion

Religion and ethnicity – a survey among young adults

This study focuses on how young people experience religion and ethnicity, the various forms these phenomena take and the connections between the two. It explores how young people live their religion and ethnicity and how these categories affect demarcation processes and the formation of identity.

Migration and religion and how these are perceived by children and young people in Switzerland

The links between migration and religion as viewed by children and young people have not received much attention in the research conducted to date. This project investigates how religious heterogeneity manifests itself at school and in the family lives of children and young people from South Asia and Southeast Europe.

Religious education between the state and religious communities

Religious education at state schools is caught between the divergent interests of the state and those of the religious communities. This project will investigate various models both inside and outside state schools. How are religious communities involved in religious education and to which regulatory options does the state have recourse?

What values and religion mean to young adults

What is the significance of value systems and religion for the emergent identities and mental health of young adults from different religious backgrounds? In the course of an interdisciplinary project consisting of a primary study in Switzerland and a comparative study in Germany, a total of 1000 young adults in urban and rural areas will be interviewed repeatedly on this issue.
