<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Cambridge Interfaith Programme and University of Cambridge Faculty of Education are pleased to invite you to the symposium "Material Approaches to Interreligious Education".
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The symposium will take place on October 9 from 12-4pm (BST) at the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. This event is free to attend, but we ask that you register
<a href="https://www.interfaith.cam.ac.uk/events/symposium-material-approaches-interreligious-education.">
here</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Detailed symposium description</u></b>:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Immerse yourself in thought-provoking discussions and gain valuable insights from scholars in anthropology, education, and other fields. Discover innovative teaching methods and explore diverse perspectives on interreligious education.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Exploring material approaches to interreligious education in dialogue, this event aims to cultivate cross-disciplinary, cross-sector discussion among researchers and practitioners working in this domain. Together, we will discuss the key
question: What might material objects and their affordances offer to challenging encounters, conversations, and relations across religious diversities?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The symposium will open with a cross-disciplinary introduction to the material turn, followed by a panel on meaningful objects featuring researchers and practitioners from across geographic, historical, and sociocultural and religious contexts.
After a break for lunch (provided), the symposium will resume with a hands-on workshop led by the Faith and Belief Forum focused on object-oriented pedagogies for teaching about religious diversities and facilitating interreligious encounter and exchange in
the classroom and beyond. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We look forward to seeing you there!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kind regards,</p>
