Course objectives
The aim of the course is to develop the students' ability to communicate the knowledge gained from the Study of Religions programme in a comprehensible way and to inform the general public about ongoing research projects, taking into account the target audience. Target audiences may include young people, potential applicants, the general public, academics, and senior citizens. The course covers both the different forms of presentation and takes into account the different audiences for whom the information is intended. It also touches on the topic of ethics (in relation to research participants, disclosure of information including photographs and video recordings, and sensitive representation of the topic).
