Towards Consensus: Ensuring Space for Diverse Voices in a National Curriculum for RE
This event brought together educators, scholars and advocates to discuss how we shape a Religious Education curriculum that reflects the diversity of worldviews and personal identity in contemporary society. Through thought-provoking contributions and collaborative discussions, we explored the importance of breadth in the curriculum, how media platforms are widening engagement, and learned from innovative local projects.
