Concept Note




ReVisioning Education – Mission and Ministry with Children [RE-Children] is a continuing education Faith and Culture Engagement/Encounter Programme. It is designed for Established Leaders with both mission/ministry credentials and practical experience to deepen their engagement in a core missional area. It also serves to build global networks of thinking practitioners. The 2026 Programme will bring together a range of people engaged in Christian Formation and curriculum development. 

ReVisioning and Decolonizing Education is a core theme for CWM. To address this, each age and stage of education and missional formation needs to be addressed. Since tertiary education is based on secondary education, which, in turn, is based on elementary education, it is necessary to examine and critique how our learning strategies embed colonial thinking and practice. To decolonize education, it is necessary to look at foundational learnings and strategies for formation.

 

RE – Children 2026 will address:

-       An evaluation of how Sunday Schools are understood in a variety of contexts

-       A survey of other forms of Ministry engagements with children

-       Christian Education developments in working with children across different regions

-       Learnings from educators working in indigenous and migrant contexts

-       Strategies for developing materials/resources for working with children

-       Development of Sample exemplar materials/resources
