What is breathe?
Breathe is a resource for the spiritual development of 16-19 year olds, encouraging them to explore and consider themes of belief, journey and values through a series of interactive, experiential meditations and activities.
Using an iPod, students follow 12 short mp3s with corresponding activities to guide their thinking. The tracks ask questions about self, individuality and identity, other people, interdependence and global community, creation, environmental issues and future, and God, Jesus and prayer. These, along with the simple practical tasks, make breathe an ideal resource for all types of learner, providing something to satisfy the visual, audio and kinaesthetic minds.
Whilst the meditation texts offer a Christian perspective on these questions, the resource is designed for use in a multi-faith environment, taking care not to offend, nor enforce beliefs on anyone who may use it. Students of all faiths and none will find breathe to be a refreshing and challenging opportunity to stop and reflect on their life, values and beliefs.

For secondary schools & sixth form colleges, breathe engages students with essential elements of the RE syllabus, covering questions of self, community, global issues and God and offering a Christian perspective on these areas. Breathe can be used as part of the statutory RE provision required for all students. |
For FE Colleges, breathe can form part of the tutor-time syllabus, encouraging personal development and self awareness, citizenship and an understanding of the belief systems of other students. It could also be used during an ethics and values week, healthy living week or equality and diversity week. |
