Description
How does it fit in with everything else?
Professor Robert D. Enright, arguably the world’s foremost expert in forgiveness education, will engage with an audience of school principals, heads of pastoral care, RE teachers, governors and interested others around the theme of ‘Giving the gift of forgiveness to our students’.
Dr Enright, co-founder of the International Forgiveness Institute and professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is a pioneer in the scientific study of forgiveness.
He has been described by Time Magazine as “the forgiveness trailblazer.”
His programmes have already been used successfully in schools in Northern Ireland and 30 countries including Greece, Iran, Israel and the West Bank, Liberia, Pakistan, and Spain.
Prof Enright will discuss how the theme of forgiveness fits into the Personal Development for Mutual Understanding and Learning for Life and Work curricula.
