Pausing to reflect, with extracts from Eylan Ezekiel

Nothing Without Us

It has been a privilege to have the conversations I have been holding during this series about faith and religious identity, but those conversations have also made me realise that so few people feel safe talking about these topics.

For the next two weeks, we are pausing to give ourselves the space to reflect on what we’ve heard so far, and to find ways to hold space for others within our community.
This episode contains some of my reflections on the conversations we have heard so far, and a few dates that you might consider adding to your organisation’s calendar. It also contains some extracts from my conversations with Eylan Ezekiel in Episode 2.

Eylan Ezekiel is Head of Hamilton Brookes - one of the most trusted voices in primary publishing. He is also an edtech consultant: supporting schools and organisations to create and shape exceptional educational experiences through content, platforms and services for learning.

Eylan is working on a set of new projects around Jewish diversity, including a podcast called Who Jew Think You Are? - which he hosts with Penny Rabiger.

An experienced primary teacher, and Fellow of the Chartered College of Teaching, Eylan has taken his close understanding of pedagogy and practice to his work with educational publishers, edtech producers, NGOs, Third Sector and policy organisations – including Oxford University Press, Arts Council England, and Oxfam GB.
