Bible in Conversation (BiG)

(opens enlarged image)

The BiG ("Bible in Conversation") study workshop in our institute (room 1127, Henschelstraße 2) offers space for encounters and conversations and can be used as a workplace for your (university) assignments.
You will find many materials on topics ranging from biblical studies, dogmatics and religious education to specific teaching materials on various topics, which you are welcome to take a look at!

The room can be used by students on request - even during the lecture-free period - as long as there is no course taking place. The key can be borrowed from the secretary's office.

In cooperation with the Kassel Center for Teacher Training, we are setting up the BiG(Bible in Conversation) learning and study workshop. The name is both a program and a bracket: on the one hand, the workshop is intended to initiate concrete dialogue between people, i.e. students, pre-service teachers, experienced teachers and all interested parties. Seminars, workshops and training courses are offered for this purpose. The BiG can also be used by students for professional advice, as a creative workspace and as a library.

On the other hand, the study workshop aims to bring different topics, disciplines and methods into conversation with one another. At the center of these processes is the Bible in the media network: texts, images, figures, music, etc. Of course, the dialog is not always centered on the biblical texts and media, but can take place alongside them and also apart from them.

In the track of the H.A.G.A.R learning environment (you can find more information on this on the IKTh homepage under Projects - P34 ), power, violence, gender and sexuality will initially set the thematic agenda, which will materialize in the equipment, i.e. in the teaching-learning material of the BiG.

In addition, the study of interreligious competence is a further focal point, which we bring to bear in our study workshop (you can also find more information on this on our homepage under Projects - P35 ). The focus here is on interreligious learning and interreligious dialog in the context of the three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) and their Holy Scriptures.

Users of the Studienwerkstatt can access a wide range of subject-specific specialist literature based on these focal points, among other things:
The various theological subject areas are complemented in an interdisciplinary way by collections from the fields of education, cultural studies, literature and social sciences. In addition to specialist literature, you will also find a varied selection of children's Bibles.
The BiG aims to open up new thinking spaces, especially for thematic, didactic and interdisciplinary questions. Craft materials, flip charts, moderation cases, PCs and printers, as well as various seating and workstations stimulate different communication channels. In the background is an inclusive pedagogical-didactic approach in the mode of diversity.
