CMED Course – Active and Reflective Kids

Walking the way in partnership with young people: faith development and  worship in Playzone, play areas and  outdoor spaces.

 with members of the Penlee Cluster

 Worshipping and exploring faith with young people is a privilege and challenge. This day will focus on using outdoor space and Playzone  as a means of exploring stories of faith and spirituality alongside youngsters.

As many of our schools develop new styles of immersive learning we consider what it might be to worship and develop spirituality though play and a sense of place.

We will also explore how we might use our church buildings differently so that youngsters can be physically active in them.  We will share our developing Playzone church story so far. What form might worship and story-telling take in such a setting?

This day does not set out a blueprint of how to worship with youngsters in a more active and physical way but will open up possibilities and questions of what you might explore in your own settings be it in church or school assemblies.

This interactive day might be of interest to all who lead worship or nurture the faith of young people either in churches, schools or other settings. People attending this day will need to have DBS clearance as we will be working and reflecting alongside young people.

The day will be lead by staff in the Penlee cluster and some children from local schools.  It will take place in a number of venues around the Penzance area. People travelling to Penzance by train can be met at the railway station and lunch will be provided as part of the experience.
