The training follows an action/reflection model of learning. There is a mixture of trainer-led presentations in each genre, and participant storytelling presentations.
We work in a model Godly Play environment, with the opportunity to see a comprehensive set of resources.
Each day explores one of the primary religious genres of Godly Play: sacred stories, parables and liturgical lessons.
Workshops in the core module also cover:
- Setting up a Godly Play Environment
- The Theology of Childhood
- Your particular concerns and questions.
At previous courses participants have included:
- Children's Work Advisers
- Clergy
- Sunday School Teachers
- School/Head teachers
- those wishing to make connections with Godly Play and adult learning and growth
Courses have been enriched by a broad mix of Christian denominations.
Courses are open to all - although it does help to have had some introduction to Godly Play beforehand.
The fees include food, board, training and an extensive participant folder.
Places are limited to 12 per course, (with extra demand we can take 14).
This is a certificated course, accredited by Godly Play UK and the Centre for the Theology of Childhood.
