Improving Interfaith Relations

Improving Interfaith Relations

Year 9 students had a treat this week when JFS was visited by staff from the Woolf Institute, a research faculty that is part of Cambridge University, which works to improve relations between religion and society through education.

The ‘Living in Harmony’ workshop was a fascinating and interactive interfaith session put on by the organisation and explored the relationship between Judaism and Islam and the importance of building bridges between the two communities. This was a very fitting introduction to the Religious Studies GCSE course in which students study Islam as one of the elected religions in Year 10.

Students had fun engaging with the material through an interactive online learning tool.
