Abstract
Religious and secular traditions contain narratives about existential questions people since ages have tried to respond to, and the core values in their life orientation. In this chapter, we listen to the stories of former pupils to learn about the appropriation of the core values narrated in the Christian and Islamic tradition as they were presented in the first and only interreligious primary school in the Netherlands, the ‘Juliana van Stolbergschool.’
