Introduction
On 10th July 2012 StoryWorks at the University of Glamorgan and the Muslim Council for Wales will launch a set of digital stories made by Muslim children from Cardiff, aged between six and thirteen. The stories are based on themes that arose in a recent Cardiff University research project, funded by Religion and Society, and they focus on children’s experiences of learning to be a Muslim.
Who might be interested in attending?
Head teachers and teachers from both primary and secondary level education. In
particular the stories will be useful for teaching religious education and cultural diversity
Staff working in a local education, social services or health setting
People working with children and young people with an interest in the topic
Light refreshments will be available on arrival, followed by a brief address from Professor Jonathan Scourfield who led the research project at Cardiff University. The children’s stories will then be screened.
A short report on the research which inspired the digital stories can be found on-line at http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/socsi/research/researchprojects/religiousnurture/publications/research%20findings.pdf
