The Common Ground: The Interfaith Religious Education Project is a dynamic initiative aimed at fostering interfaith understanding and promoting religious literacy through interactive storytelling, literature, and dialogue. This project empowers educators with the tools to curate interfaith narratives that help students engage with and respect diverse faith traditions. By offering a comprehensive approach to teaching about faiths, we aim to create an inclusive educational environment where empathy and cultural appreciation thrive.

Join us for a deep dive into how literature can be a powerful tool in teaching interfaith harmony. This training will focus on curating interfaith books, exploring their significance, and providing strategies to integrate them into the classroom. Educators will review a selection of curated interfaith books and gain insights on how to use them to inspire understanding and respect across faith traditions.

Session Highlights:

• Why Interfaith Books Matter: Discover the vital role of literature in promoting interfaith harmony

• Curating an Interfaith Book Collection: Learn how to select inclusive, historically accurate, and engaging books for diverse classrooms.
