school visits
Tara Centre regularly hosts school visits for children and students of all ages. School visits are lead by experienced teachers, giving students invaluable practical experience to enrich their classroom studies. The students will find out about Buddha’s teachings, discover what it means to be a modern day Buddhist and live in a Buddhist community, explore the symbolic meaning of a Buddhist shrine, and get to try a simple meditation. Of course, they also get to ask lots of questions!
To arrange a visit for your school, please email the Education Programme Coordinator at epc@taracentre.org.uk.
Lots of information useful for students' projects etc. on Buddhism, meditation, Buddhist beliefs and practices, and many other topics can be found in the Learning Zone at kadampa.org.
Another useful resource for parents and teachers can be found at www.dharmaforkids.com
