Year 9 Religion – “Promoting respect and peace towards all.”
Year 9 Religion – “Promoting respect and peace towards all.”
In Term 4, Week 4, the Year 9 Religious Education students had the privilege of hosting Rachel, Soukaina, Munazza, and Matthew from the Abraham Institute for two enlightening interfaith workshops. The sessions provided invaluable insights into the Jewish and Islamic faiths, fostering a deepened understanding among the students. Throughout the workshops, participants learned essential skills to promote tolerance, reduce prejudice, avoid stereotyping, cultivate empathy, foster critical thinking, and build relationships and friendships. The emphasis on religious literacy empowered students to comprehend the diverse world around them, recognizing the significance of everyone’s role in promoting respect and peace towards all. The experience was not only educational but also instrumental in nurturing a spirit of inclusivity and unity among the students.
