I too read Hahn Tapper, A Pedagogy of Social Justice Education, and found that I was inspired to think about changing my Artefact to a more discussion based workshop in an attempt to improve understanding.

You make some valid points about celebrating other faiths. Working with colleagues of different faiths, it seems unfair sometimes that they should have to take annual leave to celebrate with their families, different festivals. But I cannot see the government creating more Bank holidays for religious festivals, can you?
I am sure that…Read more
