Youth and Policy’s third ‘thinking seriously’ conference will explore recent research relating to young people and faith and consider its implications for practice. The conference offers an opportunity for colleagues from academia and practice to engage in open dialogue about research and practice relevant to work with young people around faith and religion. 

There will be four key papers including:

Sughra Ahmed (Policy Research Centre) whose research includes ‘Seen and Not Heard: Voices of Young British Muslims’;

Dr Phil Henry ( University of Derby) a sociologist of religion working in the area of identity and difference and Director of the Multi-Faith Centre at the university;

Jasjit Singh (University of Leeds) a doctoral student researching the transmission of religion among young British Sikhs;

Jon Jolly (Arun Community Church) a Christian youth worker, writer and key thinker in the field.

The speakers have been asked to stimulate reflection and discussion of practice relating to young people and faith by drawing on the insights of their work and research interests.

We are inviting participants to offer practical or academic workshops which will foster debate and new thinking about young people and faith.
