Where Could RE Take You?

Where Could RE Take You?

Would your students be surprised to discover that Bruce Lee, JB Gill, Martin Luther King Jr. and Riz Ahmed all studied Theology, Philosophy or Religion?

This engaging careers display challenges the misconception that Religious Education only leads to careers in religion. Instead, it showcases eight well-known figures who studied Theology, Philosophy or Religion, before going on to successful careers in entertainment, broadcasting, music, activism, literature and television.

Designed to inspire curiosity and challenge stereotypes, each poster explores the subject they studied, where they studied, the career they pursued, why they chose RE-related subjects and the transferable skills they developed through their studies.

Featured people include JB Gill, Sandi Toksvig, Bruce Lee, Richard Coles, Martin Luther King Jr., Rashida Jones, Katy Brand and Riz Ahmed.

Perfect for RE classrooms, Philosophy & Ethics lessons, National Careers Week, Open Evenings, GCSE Options Events, careers displays, corridors and KS3, KS4 and KS5 classrooms.

Designed with a clean, modern and professional layout, these posters help students see that Religious Education develops valuable lifelong skills that are relevant in an enormous range of careers, not just those traditionally associated with religion.

Students will discover how RE develops skills including communication, empathy, critical thinking and cultural understanding, essential skills valued across media, law, education, public service, leadership, the arts and many other professions.
