N2  - CERME is an acronym of the project Centre for Religions and Multicultural Education. The project is being realised by the Department for the Study of Religions, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic. The aim of the project is to support ongoing curricular reform of the Czech primary and secondary level of education system by preparing teachers for teaching the new „cross-disciplinary theme“ Multicultural Education. In this particular project we try to facilitate this aim by exploiting the relevant aspects of our expertise as scholars studying Religions. We self-consciously tried to bypass the urge to teach teachers „World Religions“ in order to overcome the danger of producing just further stereotypes about another cultures. Instead of that, we were searching for what the Academic Study of Religion is able to say about the processes of stereotyping, social communication and interaction and social marginalisation itself and how this part of the knowledge base of this discipline could be transmitted to primary and secondary school teachers in order to help them teach Multicultural Education meaningfully. How we are trying to do it and what is the feedback of the teachers from our target group to this process is a topic of this presentation.
