Organisation(s) holding the event: Speke Training Education Centre Short description: This project has been born out of work with children of refugee families in the North West.

Delving further highlighted a lack of understanding of religious traditions of new arrivals in the UK. This led us to develop a programme that would allow for discussions and encourage understanding of a range of faith traditions and practices whilst using LEGO® to encourage young people to get involved and work collaboratively, in effect using LEGO® to build understanding and relationships. The young people will take part in challenges to build some great LEGO® models, complete a range of challenges that will test their building skills and improve your understanding of different faiths. LEGO® challenges have been devised by psychologists, theologians and teachers and will encourage understanding a range of world religion philosophies and also build awareness of the similarities within the Abrahamic religions, as well as the traditions of other world religions.
