Following the success of last year's highly-praised Understanding Humanism Teachers Conference, attended by 100 teachers, it will return on Tuesday 10 July 2018.
This day of free CPD will include a series of stimulating seminars and workshops for primary and secondary teachers, subject leaders, and headteachers, designed to enhance your subject knowledge of humanism (a non-religious worldview) and secularism, and support you with ideas for teaching about humanism in the classroom.
If you have any questions about this event, please contact our Head of Education, Luke Donnellan, on education@humanism.org.uk.
Please also visit Understanding Humanism for free resources to support your teaching about humanism.
We are delighted to be able to offer this CPD opportunity for FREE. However, we therefore request that you only register if you are sure you will be able to attend the conference, or cancel by emailing us if you later realise that you are no longer able to attend. That way we can ensure that we are able to ensure places for as many teachers as possible.
As a registered charity, we are only able to provide free education resources and teaching support through the generous donations of our members and supporters. If you or you school would like to make a donation towards our education work, you will be able to do so when you register.
Book your ticketI thought the day was superb! I will definitely be returning next year and hopefully bring more of my department!
Just wanted to thank you and your team for a fabulous conference yesterday. I've come away buzzing and full of inspiring ideas for our Humanism unit and cross-curricular spirituality, to name just 2 areas. I felt that the day ran like clockwork. Congratulations!
