Outline
Listening to Children and Young People Talking is an online, interactive database of some 30,000 young people's responses to a range of religious and spiritual questions.
This resource offers opportunities to children and young people to
explore and articulate their own beliefs and perspectives on a range of
religious and spiritual topics. Pupils participate by adding their own
responses and views, as well as 'listening to' the views, opinion and
beliefs of others. The database can be searched by age, gender, topic,
question and religious affiliation (including atheism, humanism and 'no
belief').
Have your say: Primary topics include:
- The best way to live
- Viewpoints about death
- Peace and conflict (Religions can bring peace and harmony, but
people also fight about religion: What do you think can help people
find peace and harmony?)
- What God is like
- Prayer
- Freedom, truth, justice, love, forgiveness
- A perfect world
(the secondary version includes additional topics such as 'Hopes for the Future' and 'Learning from experience')
What others have said are
others' responses to the topics and are identified by a name, age and
religious affiliation (including atheism, humanism and 'no belief').
All inclusions are moderated before being made available for
public viewing and a 'resources' section includes pdf versions of the
questionnaires and advice to teachers on how to use the questionnaires
in the classroom. This resource provides the teacher with vibrant,
contemporary and age appropriate quotes to engage children in thinking
about the range and impact of religion and belief in Britain today. |
