A unique opportunity to broaden your skills and deepen the links between your social commitment and your faith.
Craighead Course:

This course is an opportunity for people who wish to sharpen their interpersonal and group skills, deepen their knowledge of the church’s social teaching and locate this in a practical, scripture based spirituality. The SCIAF funded course offered through Justice and Peace and delivered by the Craighead Institute is looking for participants for its second year, starting in October.

The first year of this specially developed course has proved very successful and popular, albeit demanding in commitment and energy. Participants, many with long experience of working in justice and peace issues, have commended the course for the way it has allowed them to learn new skills, refine old ones and to see their work in a more coherent context. In particular they have enjoyed and learned from working together in ‘base groups’ between modules.

Two items will be emphasised in the social justice element of this year’s course: poverty in Scotland and climate change. There will also be opportunities to develop other interests within the framework of the course.

SCIAF funding allows this course to be offered free of charge to participants.

The dates of the four modules are as follows:
Module 1: 3-4 October 2009
Module 2: 21-22 November 2009
Module 3: 16-17 January 2010
Module 4: 13-14 March 2010

A background in justice and peace work will be an advantage but it is not necessary. Places will be limited, so if you are interested it would be worth registering as soon as possible. For further information contact the J&P Office at 0141-333-0238 or office@justiceandpeacescotland.org.uk
