How do religions and beliefs build community?

Thursday 12 November

Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Ullswater Road, Penrith CA11 7EG

The workshop will involve GCSE and A Level RS students and provide an opportunity to explore the Inter Faith Week theme: Lighting the Way for a Shared Future. Inter Faith speakers connected to Cumbrian SACRE will give short presentations to small groups of students about how their religion or belief contributes to building community, using examples and quotations from sources to connect with students’ learning. Each presentation will be followed by discussion, with students moving between speakers to hear different perspectives. The event will conclude with a shared activity exploring what different religions and beliefs have in common. Inter Faith speakers will include representatives from the Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Humanist communities.
