Student Teachers Meet To Explore Thoughtful and Creative RE

Religious Education students from Queen's University, University of Ulster and Stranmillis University College were inspired by creative and thoughtful approaches to teaching RE at a one-day conference in Stranmillis led by Lat Blaylock and Stephen Pett of RE Today Services . The day involved a number of active workshops which challenged the students to think about their own values and opinions as well as how they might create a reflective and challenging environment in their own classrooms.  This event was also a unique opportunity for students from these different institutions to work together, to learn from each other and to connect with the local and national Religious Education community.  One Stranmillis student commented: 'Really enjoyed it! Lots of ideas and great resources.' Lat stated that the value of the event was to bring students together and to inspire them to take creative and thoughtful RE into classrooms.
