Religious Buildings
What are they and what do they involve?
Religious buildings are venues where members of the religion can go to socialise and worship, and while they can often be historic buildings, they can also be extremely modern. As each venue is dedicated towards practicing a specific religion the exact details will vary greatly, but you are guaranteed both a memorable and educational experience!
What are the benefits?
Religion is such a common part of modern life that it’s important to educate students in all aspects of it; a visit to a religious building to see faith in action can be a great alternative way of learning to accompany their classroom studies and can help encourage acceptance of all cultures!
What students is it suitable for?
Religious buildings are generally suitable for all ages! If you are unsure, make sure to check with the specific venue to see what they advise.
Costs?
Many religious buildings are free to enter, but some larger venues that attract tourists may have a small entry fee.
Safety Implications?
It’s important to make sure students respect any customs and that they do not disturb any quiet areas – younger children will need to be supervised carefully.
