A World of Beliefs

• About this resource

  This book, aligned to the Irish Junior Cycle Religious Education curriculum, explores five major world religions and humanism and includes ideals of diversity and inclusivity.

  The themes of social and environmental justice run across the text, and activities are designed to prompt respectful debate and inclusive insight. Chapters and courses focus upon stewardship and the environment through creative writing. 

• Testimonies from educators

  “Any opportunity to bring up environment happens in here. There's a chapter of creation stories and creation narrative and myths, and that's a great segway into stewardship, and the idea of taking care of the planet. Then, later on in the course, there's a whole bit about stewardship and the environment and environmentalism, [as well as] gender, social justice, and justice and peace issues.  There's a big chunk where you talk about the environment,  and the fact that it's a justice issue comes in there.” Dublin-based secondary educator
