Hello,

We're excited to announce Exploring Secularism for Educators- the first training day as part of the National Secular Society's project which provides free educational resources for secondary school students and teachers.

The free event, on Saturday 9 May 2020 at Conway Hall in central London (WC1R 4RL), will feature a series of presentations and workshops, providing continuing professional development (CPD). This should be a uniquely valuable CPD opportunity for RE teachers, subject leaders and other educators with an interest in secularism, belief and society.

The Commission on Religious Education has recognised secularism as a key concept in the study of religion and worldviews. But dedicated education resources on secularism are extremely sparse. Those who attend this event should gain the confidence to make use of our resources as well as draw in examples from other sources and current affairs, to improve students' understanding of and engagement with debates over belief and society.

Attendees must book in advance. The event is scheduled to last from 11:00am to 3:00pm. An agenda will be published in due course.

Best wishes,

Alastair Lichten
