RExChange 2022 Recordings
Real world research for real world classrooms
RExChange 2022 took place on 7th-8th October 2022. A conference for all those engaged in the teaching of religion and worldviews in schools, colleges and universities. It provided a hospitable forum for teachers and researchers to interact and engage with one another; promoting the interdisciplinary nature of RE, including workshops, presentations/ and/or contributions which focus on ways of knowing, and how the subject is studied.
Many of the sessions were recorded and are freely available below.
Pathways through the recordings
With 36 session recordings it’s hard to know where to start. We’ve plotted some possible routes for you, tailored to different interests or roles. Of course, you’re free to find your own way through, based on sessions that just sound interesting or that you missed on the day; but we hope these ideas might help you to make the most of a rich set of resources. All routes open in a new window in Vimeo.

Future of RE / R&W
The future of the subject is something we should all be concerned with, and in a sense all the RExChange2022 sessions relate to it. However, here is a path through several particularly pertinent sessions, including a practical guide to adding your own thoughts via publication. Take the future of RE / R&W route
