Volume 11 in the Religion, Education and Values series

This book addresses the question of human rights education in a world that is witnessing a resurgence of religion in public life, and a continuation of religion across much of the globe, long after secularization theories predicted its decline. Promoting a universal vision of human rights while acknowledging religious diversity is a challenge for schools. This book starts with the basic premise that human rights are grounded in a belief in the dignity and ultimate worth of the human person. Drawing on key philosophical and theological sources for understanding dignity, it builds a vision of human rights and religious education that seeks to square the impossible circle of universal human rights education in a religiously diverse world

The Faith in the Nexus research project was an extensive empirical mixed methods study undertaken by NICER at Canterbury Christ Church University. Throughout these two phased projects, the research team took a child-centred approach by attentively listening to the voices of Year 5 and Year 6 children speaking openly about their own faith and spiritual experiences in the home, school, and church environments. Within this pack you will find hard copies of the various resources we have created to support families, schools, and church communities in nurturing the spiritual flourishing of children.
