Religious Toleration and Peace (RETOPEA)

 Narratives on Europe today, are often characterised by conflicting views on the relationship between religion and society. However, historical dimensions of these narratives have often been neglected in sociological research, and at the same time, the voices of religious people remain largely absent from legal and political discourses. The RETOPEA project carried out both research and innovation activities to tackle this challenge. The project was successfully completed in October 2022. In early 2025, the final publication ‘Teaching and Learning about Religious Diversity in the Past and Present: Beyond Stereotypes’, edited by Karel van Nieuwenhuyse, John Maiden and Stefanie Sinclair, was published by Springer Nature.
