children learnt some useful new vocabulary and had an opportunity
to ask questions. The group liked seeing the photos of mosques
and they really enjoyed the designing a mosque activity.
Thank you very much for coming to our school and for all
the hard work you put into this session"

Sessions
are based on the principle of people talking and working from
their personal background and experience. So we cut through
the flannel and allow students (and teachers) access to authentic
voices. We also stress the need to keep the sessions active
and interactive, to maximise engagement, learning and fun!
