An Exciting Vision
To bring a closed heritage building to life with a 21st Century purpose.
Since 1144, St Nicholas Cole Abbey has variously served the City of London in many ways. Now there is an additional opportunity for it to serve the country as a whole, by providing a unique and much-needed National Centre for Religious Education.
The Centre's work and activities will reach out, to benefit children and teachers nationwide. Its resources will be web networked to all schools through its associated REonline.
The Centre will:
- Provide RE with a national physical focus easily accessible in the heart of the capital.
- Be the home base for the Religious Education Council.
- Provide office space for related RE organisations.
- Host national and regional
meetings, lectures and seminars. - Be a religious trail focus for school parties and tourists.
- Offer professional development for RE teachers.
- Provide on-line and other resources.
- Offer exhibition space.
- Provide café/restaurant facilities and an outdoor terrace.
- Enable public access to the inside of a Wren building currently closed.
- Relate RE to Heritage Education.
