Within this forum, researchers, scholars, and reflective practitioners can share and discuss ideas and practices related to the expression and development of spirituality as well as life and values education in children and young people in a range of social and cultural contexts worldwide.
The International Journal of Children's Spirituality defines the concept of spirituality spirituality as well as life and values education broadly and inclusively, recognizing that spirituality, life and spiritual values can be understood from religious and non-religious perspectives, and expressed and studied in secular contexts as well as within religious, philosophical, psychological and sociocultural perspectives and traditions.
The journal is concerned with the contextual origins of diverse definitions of spirituality as well as life and values education and their practical implications for personal and school development, communal well-being, social policies and organizational practices.
IJCS's commitment to respect all children and young people, as well as each other, means that we reject discrimination on the grounds of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, physical or mental ability or age.
We therefore encourage contributions that reflect respectful perspectives and holistic approaches to children's and young people's spirituality and personal development as well as life and values education across a variety of disciplines, professions, traditions, organizations and communities.
