Topic on ‘Identity�with visits to Huddersfield Art Gallery linked with Hindu Mandir. Interfaith Kirklees (Schools) are planning more partnership work with Museums and Galleries, and hope to announce more day visits soon. Schools can then link a visit ,for example , to Huddersfield Art Gallery with a visit to one of the Faith Centres. Perhaps you would like to link a visit about identity from the Community Cohesion units of work - using portraits at the Art Gallery with a visit to a Faith Centre to follow up this them. Or maybe to Bagshaw Museum to link work about death and myth in the Egyptian Gallery with a similar topic in a Faith Centre? Thank you to all the schools who visited the IFK(S) Faith Centres during this past academic year. There were more visits than ever. Please book your visits for 2011/2012 as soon as possible as we envisage even more and we would like to give you your first preference dates. A special thank you has to go to our committed hosts who have delivered learning packages week after week so successfully. |
