Art in Heaven

Here’s some news about a great opportunity for your schools. The NATRE (National Association of Teachers of Religious Education) are running a competition to help students explore their spiritual ideas, questions and beliefs. Each year the competition sets 5 themes that students need to respond to through art, and once again this year they are themes that will get them talking, thinking, debating and questioning for themselves.

2009 themes:

Mystery!
Open Minded!
Life is Sacred
Justice for Everyone
Who is God?

Final note…NATRE especially want to engage 16-19s with the competition this year, so there are £100 prizes available for this age group!

Closing date, 31st July 2009.
