In conversation: How do we amplify authentic voices in religion and worldviews education?
Thursday 25th September, 4.30pm–5.30pm
How do we ensure that authentic voices are heard and valued in religion and worldviews education? Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with educators and community leaders.
This ‘in conversation’ will be hosted by Fiona Moss with:
- Emily Bignell, CEO and Artistic Director at Shooting Fish Theatre Company, and collaborator on the Empowering Voices project with Lincoln Diocesan Board of Education which brought together artists, schools, community development facilitators, and individuals from a range of religious and non-religious worldviews to explore how lived experiences relate to a wider national context.
- Simone Roberts, home educator and member of the decision-making panel for the Religion and Worldviews Home Educators’ Fund. The fund offers small grants to home educating families to develop their religion and worldviews learning in creative ways.
- Alexis Sherwood, Head of Philosophy & Ethics at Brighton Girls – Girls’ Day School Trust, developing a feminist religion and worldviews curriculum at KS3
- Stefanie Sinclair, Head of Discipline and Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies at the Open University, working on Docutubes Method. The Docutube method supports young people’s active learning about religious diversity in the past and present through the creative process of making short documentary-style films (‘Docutubes’).
- Roman Williams, Founder, Interfaith Photovoice, a social enterprise that uses an arts based approach to interfaith and intergroup dialogue. Roman is working on L8 Interfaith Photovoice, a project based in Liverpool which aims to improve religious literacy, strengthen interreligious relationships, and address stereotypes and bias through an art-based participatory action technique called photovoice.
