 If
you are active in your local place of worship, you will know that
listening is one of the most important skills when working with
children and young people.
The Big Listen offered lots of ways for faith groups to get involved in asking questions and listening to young people. Here are some ways to get started:
- Why not combine a listening event with fundraising for ChildLine?
Hold a coffee morning for all the places of worship in your local
area and share information on your different religions? There
are hundreds of fun and exciting ways you can fundraise for ChildLine.
The fundraising pack will help you
to plan and run your activities and the downloads
will provide you with many of the materials you will need
- The Listening
Challenges page is about fun ways
to practice those essential listening and questioning skills
- Help other groups
to get involved too by sharing your
ideas.
Have a look at our Big Breakfast
2005 summary. This brief document highlights the main topics
of discussion at last year's Big Breakfasts and may be just what you need to help you develop new ideas for exciting events. Could you organise your own Big Breakfast?

| What’s your Big Question?
Asking questions about faith and religion – yours or
someone else’s – may seem tricky. But don’t
be shy! It’s important to understand the beliefs that
people hold. If you want to ask about faith issues, and you
want to make sure that you get good answers to your question,
check out Connect. Published by the Inter
Faith Network for the UK in association with TimeBank
and the National Youth Agency, Connect offers guidance on
interacting with people of different faiths, and also gives
advice on how to ask about religion in an open, friendly manner
(pp. 12-13). If your Big Question is about religion, take
a look at Connect.
