A career that's to do with life...

"Knowing about religion/s - Developing spirituality - Learning to live in fulfilling relationships" is the motto of the new curricula for QTS RE (Catholic) primary and secondary school.

The new courses provide the chance to gain profound insight into Christian beliefs and the cultural importance of Christianity for Europe. Dealing with values and traditions of other religions helps students to gain competences for interreligious dialogue. The new courses focus on linking essential theological knowledge to RE pedagogy and methodology. In keeping with spiritual Christian traditions and a pedagogy of care and attentiveness, the new RE courses open up the chance to practise down-to-earth and liberal forms of spiritual bonds conducive to enhancing respect for all things living.
