RE out and about RE is evident all around us through people, places and events. This seminar will encourage you to see RE in a wider curriculum context and enable you to plan cross-curricular lessons that really do have RE as a focus rather than an add-on. So wear 'sensible' shoes and come along to the seminar to engage with the world around us! (And let's hope it doesn't rain!)
