Teacher's 'Inset' Training for the Julian 650 exhibition

The Teacher's 'Inset' Training for the Julian 650 exhibition will take place on Thursday 7 September from 3.00pm - 6.00pm at St Stephen's Church, Rampant Horse Street, Norwich.

This free training for Primary School teachers will be exploring the words and pictures of Julian of Norwich through art, R.E., and philosophy. It is an interesting and unusual approach to children's ideas on the sacred and relationship to God.

The aim of the session is to provide ways for teachers to discuss children's responses both to art and to the 'shewings' of Julian of Norwich.

We will introduce both practical Group sessions in using art to explore ideas and philosophical enquiry as an approach to children's learning.

It is limited to 30 places.
