Welcome to AFAN, the website for this Inter-Faith / Belief Educational Resource Programme, with written stuff, video clips, audio and visual postings. We are a group of people with different worldviews: religious - Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, and Pagan - and non-religious - Humanist. We are exploring some of the big questions in life from our personal viewpoints within the diverse multi-faith / belief traditions we come from . We do not claim to have all the answers, and the perspectives we present are personal and not necessarily shared by others with the same worldview. We hope that these resources will help to stimulate discussion, build mutual understanding, and encourage recognition of common values and unique differences.

More information about the purpose and features of this site, can be found below by clicking on one of the buttons below.  To see a short video about the project, scroll down to the YouTube window below

 
For anybody that is not a teacher

On this website you can find short essays on a range of topics from death to sex ,and from freedom to violence. There are also videos, music and images exploring these topics from each of our perspectives. You can use all these different resources to explore further the values and beliefs held by people in the world today. Teachers wanting to use these resources in their colleges will find the necessary tools to facilitate this in the teachers’ section of this site.
