We’re delighted to announce that Faith Tutorials are back!
Faith Tutorials is a bank of free-to-download, flexible tutorial resources on a range of faith and ethical topics. It was originally created by the chaplaincy team at North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College, to enable students’ SMSC development and religion/belief literacy through exploration of a calendar of key faith festivals and through other ethical topics. The project was originally funded by St Peter’s Saltley Trust and Youth for Christ.
Each tutorial is structured in three ‘courses’: a choice of ‘starter’ opens up the topic, different ‘main’ options deliver the core content, while ‘dessert’ options provide a challenge, a practical activity, or something to take away.
After a gap of a few years, the tutorials are now back online and temporarily available below! (Bear with us – there’s a lot of material and it’ll take us a while to upload all the resources…) We’re currently working with N. Warks and S. Leics College’s current lead chaplain, Revd Steve Blyth, to re-establish a new, bespoke website for the tutorials, which will also have the facility for chaplains and tutors to upload their own tried and tested tutorials too. Watch this space!
Meanwhile, if you’d like to upload your own tutorials for others to use with their students, please outline your tutorial using the blank template below (one template per activity), and email it to us!
