Quakers Engaging with Schools: Outreach with children and young people

Engaging with Schools

“A core aspect of most Religious Education (RE) curriculums involves finding out about faith communities and religious buildings. As a result, local schools often want to visit Quaker meeting houses to find out about our worship, our history and our way of life, as well as explore our place of worship. This can be an ideal opportunity for outreach and to make connections with the local community. This resource has been created to support Friends and Quaker meetings working with schools and other groups of children and young people visiting the meeting house. It also contains ideas for talks, discussions and sessions for anyone visiting a school or other group. There are ideas and suggestions about how to plan and prepare, welcome and hospitality, and the kinds of subjects and ideas you might want to cover.” —From the introduction to Engaging with Schools
