At the Birmingham Buddhist Centre we host educational visits for young people of all ages. We provide engaging, interactive and thought-provoking workshops about Buddhism and mindfulness. Our sessions are delivered by experienced practising Buddhists who will illustrate the key principles and values of Buddhism, whilst showing what being a Buddhist can look like in the modern world.
What would we learn?
We aim to provide varied and engaging experiences for students of different ages. In a 2-hour visit students can encounter more aspects of Buddhism using different spaces within the Centre.
Topics we often cover are:
∙ Stories from the Buddha’s life
∙ Exploring the main Shrine Room and artefacts + Q&A
∙ Introduction to Buddhist teachings and principles
∙ Mindfulness and the practice of meditation
We are also happy to develop other activities with you that suit the needs and learning objectives of your group.
What does it cost?
Visits usually last one or two hours.
For groups of up to 35 students:
- 1-hour visit: £75
- 2-hour visit: £125
Two-hour visits include a short break with refreshments.
We can also sometimes host assembly-style visits for up to 60 students (1 hour) at a cost of £125.
