Synopsis
Education is in a constant state of renewal internationally where it responds to a number of pressing social, political and cultural issues. Processes of globalization, a number of conflicts and acts of terror, economic and environmental crises have led to large waves of migration and asylum seekers arriving in countries with the hope of finding safer and more stable places to settle. This, in turn, has led to cultural and religious pluralism being a key characteristic of many societies with corresponding issues of belonging and identity. As well, for many people, there has been a shifting influence of and allegiance away from traditional religious frameworks with the emergence of new religious movements, both peaceful and violent, and a rise in popularity of spirituality and non-religious worldviews which provide alternate frameworks for living healthy and ethical lives. In order to prepare today's student for tomorrow's world, one which is confronted by a range of risks and crises and which is being shaped by rapidly changing technologies, educators and researchers are investigating new ways of equipping students to deal with these challenges and opportunities, including the nurturing of spiritual wellbeing. This book brings together the voices of many experienced educators to discuss ways to re-enchant education and re-enliven learning programs in response to these 21st century issues in an increasingly global and interconnected world. It examines a range of international contexts, including secular and religious educational settings, and provides an avenue for visionary voices that identify problems and offer solutions to help shape a more promising education system that will prepare children more constructively and beneficially to flourish in their future worlds.

Newspapers & Magazines
This book provides a very well grounded approach to the issues regarding religious education in schools. The sociological, psychological and philosophical underpinnings are not only impressive, but made in very helpful and approachable ways. The book moves well beyond 'should there be education about/into religion' to a consideration of what is the fundamentally critical aim of education and the role of 'spirituality', worldviews, even 'religion' in delivering on this aim. A major strength is the thorough care with which the themes are developed, exemplified and made real in practice.

Professor Gary D Bouma, UNESCO Chair in Interreligious and Intercultural Relations - Asia Pacific, Monash University

This book makes an explicit contribution to exploring the significance of spiritual wellbeing within the context of education. It is well organised and allows for the conceptualisation of spirituality and spiritual wellbeing to flow in the direction of spiritual education. It offers creative ways of fostering the inclusion of spiritual wellbeing within educational contexts. The writing style is straightforward and would be easily accessible to educators, academics, as well as parents and carers and those with a general interest in spiritual wellbeing in the context of education.
