| Tools 4 Trialogue |
| |
Our core educational activity, Tools 4 Trialogue™ (T4T), uses religious texts as the foundation for discussion of civic and ethical themes. It can be run in single-faith and multi-faith environments in schools, youth groups and universities.
Based on the practice of Scriptural Reasoning, T4T is an interactive encounter with scripture. Extracts from the Tanakh (Jewish text), New Testament (Christian text) and Qu’ran (Muslim text) are presented side by side on a particular theme.
Presenters from each of the faiths give their personal perspectives on the texts, facilitating discussion and encouraging participants to share their views. |

Book a T4T Workshop
To book a Tools 4 Trialogue workshop for your school, youth group or university society, get in touch with our education officers at 3ff.edu@threefaithsforum.org.uk. We can't wait to hear from you.
NB In schools, Tools 4 Trialogue is run as a series of minimum two sessions. The first session introducing the concept of interfaith and how the Tanakh, New Testament and Qur'an are read by the communities who follow them. This ensures that students are well prepared to dive into T4T, and initiates them into the long and varied tradition of reading holy texts.
