About

The Centre for Research on Peace and Development (CRPD) is part of the Horizon2020 project called SciShops. The project started in September 2017 and will promote the benefits of starting a science shop for every type of organisation, but also the advantages civil society gains from being involved in science through community-based participatory research. In the framework of the SciShops.eu project, the centre for Research on Peace and Development started the CRPD Science Shop. CRPD is a multidisciplinary research centre within the faculty of social sciences of KU Leuven. In line with the expertise of the research centre, the science shop has a thematic focus on research topics related to intergroup relations, polarization, multiculturalism, and integration. The science shop started a pilot project in 2018-2019. The project investigates the role of teachers in creating a positive and inclusive school climate. More specifically, the study looks at how teachers in Flanders deal with controversial topics and challenges related to religious and cultural diversity in the classroom (integration, racism, polarization, etc.).
