Inter Faith Week Resources: 2024
From 10-17 November, 2024, it is Inter Faith Week in Schools. We are supporting the Faith and Belief Forum and National Association of Standing Advisory Councils on RE initiative this year to promote the importance of linking faiths, beliefs and communities. The theme this year is on Sharing my story: Building your future.
We have pulled together several valuable resources below to help teachers explore interfaith relations, and particularly stories, in the RE classroom, which in turn will increase pupils’ understanding of, and skills for, inter faith encounter, dialogue and action.
