| Inter Faith Week and Schools
Inter Faith Week 2010 will take place from Sunday 21 –
Saturday 27 November in England and Wales.
You can download from this site some resources for schools and for SACREs
specially created for the Inter Faith Week in 2009 by the National
Association of Teachers of Religious Education (NATRE) and the National
Association for Standing Advisory Councils for Religious Education (NASACRE),
with support from the then Department for Children, Schools and Families. There
is also support available either locally through your RE Adviser, Lead/AST
RE teachers or local SACRE.
The resources can be used to organise activities during Inter Faith Week

cohesion. The resources you can download:
