Understanding faith. Learning values. Building a better community.
Faith and values can play an important role in how people understand life, develop compassion and treat one
another.
Generosity Faith & Values is a community education initiative designed to provide people with opportunities
to learn about religious teachings, values and traditions from knowledgeable and experienced volunteers.
Our aim is to create a respectful environment where people can learn, ask questions and develop a better
understanding of different faith traditions — whether they follow a religion, are exploring their own beliefs, or
simply wish to understand the beliefs of others.Learning From Every Faith
We believe that people can learn valuable lessons from the teachings, traditions and ethical principles of
different religions.
Many faith traditions encourage values such as compassion, kindness, honesty, generosity, respect,
forgiveness, service to others and responsibility towards the community.
Through our volunteer-led educational programs, we aim to make religious and values-based knowledge more
accessible to people who wish to learn.
Our Support

Religious & Values Education
Experienced volunteers with appropriate knowledge and experience can provide educational sessions about
religious teachings, traditions, values and principles.
Learning Across Faiths
Where appropriate and where suitable volunteers are available, we aim to provide opportunities for people to
learn about different religious traditions and their teachings.
Personal Development
Faith and values can provide people with opportunities for reflection, understanding, purpose and personal
growth. Our programs encourage participants to explore these areas respectfully.
Understanding One Another
Learning about different faiths can help people better understand their neighbours, colleagues, friends and
communities, particularly in Australia’s multicultural society.
Community & Humanitarian Values
We encourage values that contribute to respectful relationships, compassion, service and positive participation
in the community.
Our Philosophy
We believe that learning can help people understand themselves, understand others and contribute positively to
society.
We also recognise that Australia is a diverse community made up of people from many religious, cultural and
personal backgrounds.
Our purpose is not to promote one faith over another. Instead, we aim to create opportunities for respectful
learning, understanding and dialogue, while allowing individuals to make their own decisions about their
beliefs and values

Growing Together
We believe that a stronger community can be built when people have opportunities to learn, understand and
respect one another.
Through our volunteers, educational sessions and community activities, Generosity aims to support people in
developing positive values and a deeper understanding of their own beliefs and the beliefs of others.
Learn. Understand. Reflect. Respect.
Our Aim
To make meaningful knowledge about faith, values and human responsibility accessible to the
community, while encouraging respect, compassion, understanding and positive participation in
Australian society.
Programs are educational and community-focused. Participation is voluntary, and individuals are free to make
their own decisions about their beliefs, values and faith.
