Mission

Year 10 students develop intercultural understanding

Donna Jacobs Sife

FROM RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHER, KAREN JONES

On Wednesday 4 March, the Year 10 Religious Education students were privileged to hear two guest speakers from ‘Together for Humanity’, an organisation whose mission it is to ensure children in Australian schools develop intercultural understanding.

Donna Jacobs Sife and Kate Xavier talked to students about Christianity, Judaism and interfaith dialogue. They asked students to imagine that they were from another culture and then discussed how we would all get along if we had no understanding of each other’s culture, adding another dimension to their learning of interfaith dialogue.
