Mary Hayward, Associate Fellow, Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit, University of Warwick
 Religious Studies, well taught, offers students experiences and insights pertinent to living in the 21st century. Students’ learning offers engagement with those of differing faiths and cultures, and the development of capacities - both empathetic and critical - to understand them. In this process students also develop their self understanding; they encounter the question of what it is to be human, and reflect on the human condition; they discover the ‘visions’ of religions and other worldviews, and the power of commitment to shape the world for good - but also for strife and conflict. In our global society such insights are more relevant than ever – CELEBRATE a curriculum which affirms them!
