Some exciting opportunities have come up for young people/adults of faith to volunteer for the Scottish Inter Faith Council in 2012:

1) St Moden’s High School, Stirling: Friday 10th February
I am looking for young people and adults from Protestant, Baha’i, Sikh, Hindu and Buddhist faiths to take part in a religion and spirituality day at St Moden’s High School for S6 pupils. The young people would lead 6 sets of 15 minute sessions with groups of up to 20 pupils, talking about their faith and what it means to them and answering questions from pupils. There would also be an opportunity to sit on a panel for a question and answer session at the end Meeting at 11.30am at Stirling Railway Station, the school minibus will transport volunteers to and from the school, the day finishing at 3.30pm. (SIFC staff will be travelling from Glasgow station)

2) Ankur Productions
Visual artist Arpita Shah is creating an 'installation piece' at the Citizen's Theatre in April 2012. She is looking for young people from different faiths, aged 12 - 16, whom she plans to document on film and camera as they practice their faith in their place of worship, capturing aspects of customs and rituals during prayer. She also plans to interview the young people about their faith and what it means to them. Arpita is keen for the general public to find out more about the meaning and importance of faith for young people, whose voices are not always heard by the general media. Initial meetings will take place in January and filming in February and March, although each young person would only need 1 - 2 hours for filming. More details can be found on the attachment with this email.

3) Education Scotland
Education Scotland is creating a film, interviewing young people of faith talking about what faith means to them. This would be used as an education resource for Religious and Moral Education teachers in Scottish Schools. Anyone up to the age of 26 is welcome to apply. Filming will take place during the day or at the weekend, dates to be confirmed.
