EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN FAITH AND RELATED ISSUES

A service provided by

Suffolk Inter-Faith Resource

 

SPEAKERS AND TUTORS FOR SCHOOLS

We have many experienced tutors who are practising members of their faiths and are comfortable speaking about their beliefs and about their life in modern multicultural / multi-faith England to any age-group.  We can provide one or more of these tutors to visit your school to speak about their faith to classes or year-groups or to lead assemblies.

We can arrange for teams of tutors to run full or half-day themed workshops on a variety of topics eg Rites of Passage, Festivals, Work, Money, and Sexuality.  One of our workshops, 'Breaking Barriers' challenges stereotypes and preconceptions and can include speakers on Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, refugees and asylum seekers and Travellers.  We can provide speakers on Zimbabwe, Middle East, Iraq and other places of conflict or special interest or concern.  We can arrange guided visits to places of worship

We enjoy working with schools in planning special days or weeks on faith/culture / lifestyle topics and we are happy to arrange tutor led visits to places of worship in Norwich, Ipswich Cambridge and Colchester or further afield.

 

SPEAKERS AND TRAINERS FOR OTHER ORGANISATIONS

We regularly provide speakers for statutory and voluntary bodies and faith communities.  We arrange and deliver customised courses and training seminars on Diversity with special attention to issues around faith and culture.
