Prayer Spaces in Schools – this is an inclusive, creative approach to spiritual development
About this Event

This training is FREE for anyone involved with Spiritual Development in Schools and partner Churches: LLMs, church volunteers, subject leaders and teachers. We suggest delegates attend in pairs with a representative from Church and School.


Leader – Jane Gillis; Bristol Schools Connection


Prayer Spaces in Schools enable children and young people, of all faiths and none, to explore faith, prayer and life’s questions in a safe, creative and interactive way. They work best when developed in partnership between local church and school. Children engage in a series of multisensory prayer or reflection activities from which they can make their own meaning.

Prayer Spaces are a spiritual development experience and can support learning in a range of curricular and extra-curricular areas. They provide a quiet, reflective space where children can consider how they relate to themselves, to others, to the world and to the Divine. There will be a focus on outdoor prayer spaces which also support children to connect with nature.


OUTCOMES:

  • inspiration to create this spiritual development opportunity for your pupils’ learning and
    wellbeing
  • practical knowledge you need to host your first prayer space
  • clarity about the values and ethos that underpin a great prayer space
  • readiness to work in partnership with your church/school
