(from 17.30 on Friday to 16.00 on Sunday)
This was the first major event of the newly founded Torbay Inter Faith Forum 4 Youth and gave 40 pupils from Torbay secondary schools the opportunity to participate free of charge in this worthwhile initiative.
The varied inter-active programme contributed towards the pupils’ educational, spiritual, social and personal development in the context of promoting inter-faith dialogue. The focus was on extending knowledge and understanding of faiths as well as exploring contemporary social and faith issues with young people who may or may not have a personal faith commitment. The adults supervising the weekend included two former RE teachers (both CRB checked) and a present local Head of RE, as well as the Abbey Education Department staff.
This was an educational venture and not confessional in its approach. It supported the new Torbay Agreed Syllabus for RE contributing to the delivery of inter-faith dialogue which the syllabus now emphasises. It also promoted Citizenship. The Forum had the approval of the Torbay Standing Advisory Committee for Religious Education, the Devon Adviser for RE and Torbay’s Change-Up Consortium and Youth Service. Torbay Youth Inter-Faith Forum is affiliated to ‘Young Devon’.
