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.

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!
