RE: IALT consider the difficulties for people of different religious beliefs living in non-religious communities
Have a look through the attached slides and think about the following questions:
What is a non-religious community? Which non-religious communities are you a part of?
Why might it be difficult for people with religious beliefs to be a part of these communities?
In the United Kingdom, some schools are associated with religious communities. In France, all public schools are secular, which means they are non-religious. It is against the law for children to wear religious items. Not everyone agrees with this. Some Muslim families disagree, as some Muslim girls choose to wear headscarves. What do you think about this? What problems might the law create? What problems might the law solve? Can you think of some ways we can be understanding and show respect to each other in non-religious communities?
Today we will be considering the difficulties for people of different religious beliefs, and how everyone can be understanding and respectful of different beliefs in our community
In the attached 'Worksheets' I want you to look at the Religious Community Statement Cards and consider how you could make everyone feel welcome and supported in our school. Then I would like you to decide on at least three statements to write on the Community Manifesto Sheet. The statements should state how everyone in our school community here at RAPS should behave to ensure those of all beliefs are welcome.
