Event overview
How can Ethical Veganism be understood as a ‘worldview’ in the context of religion and worldviews in RE curriculum?
Organised by the Faiths and Civil Society Unit, based at STaCS, this event brings together education experts, researchers, RE advisors, and practitioners, to explore the introduction of Ethical Veganism as a ‘worldview’ within the RE curriculum. By examining its ties with diverse religious and non-religious perspectives, the event investigates in what ways Ethical Veganism can be understood as a ‘worldview’ in light of recent proposals for Religion & Worldviews by the RE Council for England & Wales. Introducing the VinE initiative and some of its educational resources and practices, its founders reflect on their motivations for coming together and how they envisage their initiative to encourage compassionate, ethically informed, and responsible citizens. The event invites critical reflections by RE and education experts on the pedagogical opportunities and challenges of Ethical Veganism in RE within the broader debates concerning worldview literacy and citizenship.
