Time: 10am - 4pm
Recognising that religious education has various forms - from situations \;where it is fully intertwined with religious schooling to those where it \;is primarily concerned with providing information about religion - this conference \;will combine theoretical discussions around the possibilities and challenges \;surrounding sharing religious education as well as research-informed descriptions \;and evaluations of current examples.
The conference is being organised in Northern Ireland at a time when\, following \;years of division and separation in education\, interest in sharing and collaboration \;in education is high and where experimentation in forms of sharing and collaboration \;between schools is increasingly common.
Some questions and issues that we hope will be addressed include:
Guest Speakers include - Mr John Keast OBE\, Dr Jones Irwin (Dublin City University)\, \;Professor James Conroy (University of Glasgow)\, The Tony Blair Faith Foundation
The conference is aimed at teachers\, policy makers\, researchers and academics.
Tea/coffee break: 9.30am\, lunch will also be provided.
