CHURCH HISTORY PROJECT

Schools In Local Churches (SILC) Project
*Now this project is linked with the Church History Project*

The HLF (Heritage Lottery Fund) has given us a large sum of money to develop this project, along with Tourism & Research, which has to be matched with volunteer hours logged

·         The SILC (Schools in Local Churches) will be absorbed into this project.

·         There are close links/similarities between this and Time Travelling in Parishes.

·          History must always be at the forefront, but also showing the church as living & current.

·         We must use/make ref to the CHP website http://southwellchurches.history.nottingham.ac.uk

Aims

The key aims and benefits of SILC would be:

1. Mission – opening up churches, building relationships with schools and children, sharing church as a place of faith, as well as history
2. Partnership – between schools and churches, church & community, history & life today

WHO?

Along with a small Education Steering group, the project is led by

  1. Tracey Akehurst (Project Manager, Church History Project)
  2. Nick Harding (Leading Member, Southwell & Nottingham Diocese Children’s Officer)
  3. Maureen Collins (Chair of Education Group, Church Schools Development Officer, Southwell & Nottingham Diocese)

We do however need lots of volunteers to trial materials. If your school would like to be involved, or your church would like to take it into a local school, please contact us c/o maureencsdo@southwell.anglican.org

 

What?

The idea is to produce a resource pack with ideas to help a church better welcome local schools in, as part of their Religious Studies and other courses. This may include ideas for activities which will satisfy school attainment targets whilst giving children a picture of a living church, and lots of historical interest.

If you have ideas, or things that you are already doing that work well, please let us know! We welcome ideas from schools or churches, or individuals!
