A PATHWAY TO FACILITATING
Q-Workshops gives CEI students a rare behind-the-scenes look at the workshops that sit at the heart of Q-Immersion at the University of Oxford.
Participants engage with original academic literature on the Qur’an, prepare their own workshop concept, and present to a panel of experienced facilitators. By the end, they will have a clear understanding of what Q-Workshops are, how they work, and what it takes to lead one.
THE ESCALATOR
Dedicated students are able to grow and develop their Qur’an studies at CEI/Qx:
1. Q-Club + Q-Reflect + Q-Immersion + Q-Connect (Exposure: Tafsir, Commentary & Theories)
2. Q-Workshops (Engage: Academic Qur’an material)
3. Q-Symposium (Research: Produce original material)
