Grounded in Christian Values and an Ignatian Charism, this module sets out to foster ‘a spiritual vision of the world in the face of materialism, a simplicity in the face of consumerism, and a concern for others in the face of egoism and injustice’ (Characteristics of Jesuit Education, Jesuit Institute, London, 2014). responding to injustice cover small
The module consists of twelve sequential lessons leading to a concrete response. The lessons comprise an array of teacher-
led,student-led, individual and group activities. The use of visual images, audio-visual clips, questions, worksheets, role plays, reflection, meditation, and class discussions demonstrate this. While the module is generally aimed for Junior Cycle Religious Education students, it can be taught as a stand-alone Transition Year module and within the Senior Cycle Religious Education curriculum. Developed within the framework of the Education for Justice and Reconciliation Programme, (Jesuit Schools, Ireland) this module seeks to inspire a ‘Faith that does Justice’, thus upholding the Jesuit educational objective which is to ‘form men and women for others … men and women of competence, conscience, and compassionate commitment.’
