Nurturing Seeds: Religious Literacy as a Skill for Peaceful Engagement – Episode 3
Missed the live session? Watch the final episode of our three-part series on how religious literacy can support peaceful and inclusive engagement.
In “Learning to Engage: Designing for Inclusion – Religious Literacy in Education”, Daniel Del Nido explores how educators can embed religious literacy in classrooms to foster mutual respect and identity awareness. Drawing from his work at the Tanenbaum Center, he shares practical tools for designing inclusive curricula and whole-school strategies that prepare students to engage meaningfully with religious and non-religious diversity.
Moderated by Dr. Kate Soules, this 30-minute fireside conversation builds on the October 2024 webinar “Sowing Seeds of Peace” and focuses on education as a foundation for lifelong religious literacy.
