“I enjoyed many activities in the Borough RE<br />

Conference, including debating about the design<br />

argument and references to it in many religious books. It<br />

was interesting looking at how the universe was created<br />

and we considered different theories”.<br />

Shagufta Bibi (year 12)<br />

“The Annual Borough RE<br />

Conference was good as the<br />

workshops allowed me to increase<br />

my knowledge of ethical and<br />

philosophical issues. Listening to<br />

the opinions of others increased<br />

my awareness, in particular<br />

the workshop on terrorism was<br />

intriguing as we debated the<br />

definition of a terrorist and it had<br />

me constantly thinking”.<br />

Adil Hassan (year 12)<br />

“Running a workshop at the Annual<br />

Borough RE Conference enabled me<br />

to understand students’ perceptions<br />

about whether Britain is a Christian<br />

country. Leading the workshops was demanding but<br />

valuable as we were constantly trying to challenge<br />

students about their mind-sets. Overall the conference<br />

was very interactive and enabled everyone to develop<br />

their views and learn not to accept everything the media<br />

reports at face value”.<br />

Nabila Hiyati (year 12)<br />

“The annual Borough RE Conference was kicked off by<br />

Dr Ranvir Singh’s key note speech which was amazing in<br />

exploring international history and politics in addressing<br />

the key question: Is Britain still a Christian country?<br />

He made the speech very interactive and highlighted<br />

for instance how Christian beliefs dominate our legal<br />

systems. I learnt to appreciate life as a teacher as I led a<br />

workshop on the problem of evil”.<br />

Gurgina Sidhu (year12)<br />

“The Annual Borough<br />

RE Conference allowed<br />

students from different<br />

faiths to interact and<br />

communicate in an<br />

academic setting. It was<br />

largely to engage with<br />

controversial themes<br />

and international<br />

problems which have<br />

connections with<br />

religion. The highlight<br />

of the event was the panel discussion because all major<br />

faith groups were represented including Humanism and<br />

the fact that two students stepped up to represent<br />

their beliefs”.<br />

Mariyum Mahmood and Faisa Samater (year 12)<br />
