Last week on ABC Religion & Ethics, we wrapped up Growing in Wisdom: A Week with Students — a special themed week co-produced with ABC Education. Across the week, we handed the mic to students, asking how young people today are grappling with questions of ethics, belief, identity and the future.
On The Minefield, you can hear the live recording Waleed Aly and Scott Stephens hosted at ABC Sydney with high school students, parents and teachers on the role of artificial intelligence in education. Is it a tool for learning or a shortcut that undermines it? The result was a rich, thoughtful conversation that moved beyond hype and fear to the deeper ethical implications of classroom technology.
God Forbid gathered high schoolers from across the country to ask: does religion still have a place in the classroom? The panel pushed back on stereotypes about Gen Z and Gen Alpha, raising new insights on belief, belonging and how schools shape moral worldviews.
And on The Religion & Ethics Report, two articulate, passionate PhD students — Marley Krok and Maggie Paul — joined the program to discuss how their personal faith journeys intersect with research, politics and public life.
If you missed the Week with Students, now's the time to catch up. These conversations offer a rare and candid window into the minds shaping the future — and remind us that wisdom isn't just handed down, it's grown together.
