Religious diversity and community in intercultural education

  • Japanese Traditional Religions
  • Popular Religiosity
  • Community
  • Peace
  • Intercultural Education

Religion and community are two significant yet overlooked factors in intercultural education. In the lecture, I focus on two communities, the Hidden Christians in Hirado and the elderly community worshiping Togenuki Jizō in Sugamo (Obaachan no Harajuku), to examine what it means to belong to a community. These examples from the Japanese religious world show that the key to intercultural and diversity education in an increasingly multicultural Japanese society lies in learning about and engaging with different communities.
