Celebrating RE song

Place of Trust

‘Place of Trust’ (in both its English and Welsh versions) was specially written for the RE Council’s Celebrating RE month, March 2011. The resource provided a shared song of celebration, linking together young people from across Wales and England as they celebrated RE in their local and national contexts.

Religious Education in Wales and England today provides a place where young people are able to engage with fundamental questions, to explore beliefs, teachings and practices, and to express their personal responses. This means that religious education is involved with questions and issues which can be both personal and sensitive. This background provides the context for the central theme of the song, the ‘Place of Trust’ or haven where young people can learn about themselves and others in a safe and respectful environment. Religious education in England and Wales is unique both in Europe and the rest of the world, and it offers something of immense educational value.

The song calls for recognition of the significant contribution that Religious Education makes to our communities and invites you to celebrate with us.
