TD THEME – Who we are CENTRAL IDEA – Recognizing similarities and differences between beliefs enables people to be global citizens. KEY CONCEPTS – Form, Connection and Responsibility The last week witnessed some parents enter the learning environment of their wards and take on the role of educators. The parents spoke about Judaism, Buddhism and Jainism. They spoke to the children about the religions they practise, their faith and beliefs. One of our teachers shared her beliefs in Islam with our students. It was heartening to watch the children appreciate the discussion and recognize the commonalities in all the religions. Students created informative leaflets to present their research about religion. They also researched about the fasting festivals and presented their research through ppt. Students also analysed about the reasons some of the wars fought in the name of religion. The lessons we learn from history enable us to build a better and peaceful world.
