What is INTERACT?
INTERACT is a growing series of discussion guides aimed at helping creative students engage with themes that shape the arts today.
Our aim with Interact is to help you to:
Think
By bringing creative works alongside biblical texts in the form of a discussion, we hope to help you investigate and dig deeper into the connections that exist between God's Word and the arts today.
Speak
As you grow in confidence recognising that God's Word speaks directly into the questions our culture is asking, we hope that you will feel able to reach out and invite others into these conversations. Interact is intended to feel accessible to those at any stage of exploring the Christian faith, so invite friends along to join your studies!
Live
We also hope that these studies will encourage you to consider the practical ways in which God's Word shapes the daily rhythm of your life. Each study will prompt you to apply your reflections to practical steps as well as exploring creative ways for you to put these into practice in your time at University.
