In this Workshop\, you’ll gain insights and practical strategies for helping your students understand that Catholicism is not merely about following rules\, but about living in the freedom of virtue and truth. Together\, we’ll explore ways to make morality meaningful and relevant\, while reflecting on key themes such as freedom\, virtue\, sin\, conscience\, and the Beatitudes. \n\n\n\nThis Workshop blends scholar presentations with interactive pedagogical sessions\, giving you a chance to explore content with a respected scholar\, as well as explore and simulate practical teaching strategies with ready-to-use classroom materials.
