SIEUK MEMBER ZOOM SYMPOSIUM
2-5pm October 22nd, 2020
The SIEUK Members Symposium will be the first full meeting that brings together the alliance members with the elected core working group. The aim of the meeting will be to enable the alliance to further develop and consolidate its activities. This is with the further core aim of promoting an understanding of spirituality within schools and creating learning environments that better promote and nurture the inner life of both students and teachers.
As time will be very limited on the day, we invite members to explore each others activities in advance of the meeting.
