Thursday 22 May 8:45am to 3:30pm | Mere Court Hotel | Knutsford

Nobody stands nowhere, inspired by the Theos Think Tank research piece, is a now familiar short video created by Emily Downe, that encourages the viewer to consider their own view of the world and how that has been shaped and developed.  The changes to religious education over recent years has embraced this worldviews approach. Moving the focus from solely the content to be taught, towards focusing on the framing of this information on the lived experience of adherents, both for institutionally organised, secular and personal worldviews.  Engaging pupils to not only acquire information but to be interpreters of this information.

Through a mix of keynote talks and interactive sessions, we will hear from the lived experience of those who hold humanist and sentientist worldviews, and the compatibility of those who embrace both science and Christianity. We are delighted to be welcoming Abi Falkus, from God And The Big Bang; Jamie Woodhouse from Sentientism and Bethan Fowler from Understanding Humanism, Humansim UK.

This conference would be suitable for those who teach or lead religious education across the primary phase, perhaps coming in partnership with those who lead on science as you consider how one subject may support the learning in the other through careful curriculum mapping.

The day will begin at 8.45am arrival and registration and concluding at 3:30pm.  Places are limited, so don’t delay, book today! Need more information? Contact our Christian Distinctiveness Officer, Jen Mcilveen.
