Teaching the Environment in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics

Export to calendar

Abstract

We invite you to a conversation among teachers, advisers and researchers on new environmental directions in the teaching of Philosophy and Religious Studies. We will hear about developments in Ethics at University level, along with the Re:Connect fellowship project for teachers which has produced innovative and freely-available RE curriculum resources in light of the climate emergency. Teachers from the project will share their reflections and explore the wider questions of whether current religious, spiritual and ethical outlooks need to evolve to meet the demands of our current age.
