This scheme of work is designed to slot into any Catholic Sixth Form College’s General RE programme. Comprising six lessons which investigate various themes of Christian peacemaking this syllabus enables the learner to think critically about the theology and scripture that informs the work of Christian peacemaking. It also explores the practical demands of peacemaking today and empowers the student to take action on issues of injustice which they feel strongly about. Lessons 1-5 also work as stand alone lessons.
Alongside the lesson plans the pack also includes guidance on how to organise a Peace Studies Day together with a selection of prayers and reflections about peace.
